Albany Annual Historic Home Tour

The 46th Summer Interior Tour of Historic Homes will be held 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, July 26, in Albany, Oregon. Several lovely historic homes will be open for touring, as well as the Monteith House, Albany Regional Museum, and several other historic buildings.

An added bonus this time around will be a chance to tour the Cumberland Church (future home to the Cumberland Community Events Center) to check on the progress of its renovation, including interiour upgrades.

Admission is $15 per person and tickets can be purchased online at monteithhouse.org. To receive your copy of the tour map and wristband, bring your e-ticket to the Albany Visitors Association office, 122 Ferry St. SW, on tour day, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. In-person sales will be available on tour day, for cash or check only, at the Albany Visitors Association. Well-behaved children under 12 are admitted free with a paid adult.

Visitors are asked to please not touch items in the homes and to not take photos or video while inside.

Refreshments will be served at the Albany Regional Museum. The Albany Vintage Trolley and a horse-drawn wagon also will be available for visitors to ride.

Proceeds from the Tour benefit the Monteith House Museum.
