Mothers Day House and Garden Tour 2014
THE 2014 CAPITOL HILL HOUSE AND GARDEN TOUR: May 10 & 11 This Mother’s Day, come explore Our Homes, Our Gardens and Our History Saturday May 10 from four to seven p.m. Sunday May 11 from twelve until five p.m.
Mother’s Day Weekend. Mothers (and Fathers) coming to visit? Children (and grandchildren) coming to visit? Give them a tour of the Hill. Show them how the Hill has evolved from its largely Victorian roots to a more modern brand of living. No horses in the carriage houses (but some very nice cars). No wood stoves left to care for, but some excellent kitchens straight out of Vogue (and other design magazines). Baths too! Visit the twelve homes (and a garden) on the 57th Annual Capitol Hill House and Garden Tour. It is a walkable mile and quarter between 3rd and Ninth streets east and Constitution south to Independence. CHRS 2014 Tour details.
