Norwalk's Living History Tour: Historic Homes from 1675-1830

UPDATE: The tour bus is sold out: The organization will try to get another tour bus if there are enough people interested to go in it.

On Sunday, September 18th, from 2-5 pm, join Norwalk house experts on a behind-the-scenes bus tour of homes built in Norwalk's early days. The tour will be a trip through the town's early history, and it includes a rare treat—Norwalk's two oldest houses, both of which date from about 1675, will be open for tourgoers. Two exceptionally well-restored homes from 1784 and 1789 will also be open, along with a beautiful Federal-era house from about 1820. In addition, the tour route leads past fifteen other historic homes from these early periods. Tour leaders will talk about their architectural styles and their place in local history. Norwalkers in period costumes will board the bus from time to time to talk about the town as they knew it and what it was like to live there.
