Proceeds from sales of tickets from the tour will benefit the Auburn Museum. The tickets will be $10 for the entire tour and may be purchased at any of the four locations on the tour.
Homes on the tour belong to Jean and Lewis Chapman, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Patrick Drury II and their son, and Mr. and Mrs. Allen Chiles along with the museum itself.
A look at each:
The Chapman Home is located at 211 West Main Street in Auburn.
The Victorian home was built in the 1850s and was owned and occupied by the late Elizabeth Stagner, a local librarian and teacher.
The Chapmans bought his property in 1993 and have tried to leave the house in its original state, as much as possible.
It is furnished with antiques, collectibles and hand-made furniture, which has been made by Lewis.
You will enjoy collections of old dolls and toys, graniteware and flow blue.
The Chapmans look forward to your visit.
The Drurys' home is located at 6592 Friendship Road, the third house on the left after the road intersects with KY 103 just outside of Auburn.
