It's been a few years since the last home tour, and my how things have changed! Nora Tucker, of Victorian Village Inc., has been such a vital part of engineering this event and really pushing to have the entire village looks and be at it's very best for our guests. The event is always a grand success, with staggering droves of locals and out-of-towners alike. Be sure to put this on your calendar for this weekend...the weather will be perfect for a stroll through one of Memphis' most historic and well preserved neighborhoods.
The WF will be open to the public with entrance through the rear of the museum. Our Mourning Memphis exhibit will still be on display and our museum shoppe will be well stocked with unusual and charming trinkets to take home with you after your day "in the 19th century".
