Tickets for the historical house tour are $10 and Mayrose the historical commission donates the money to either the Le Mars Arts Center, or in this year’s case the money will be donated to the Plymouth County Historical Museum. She says more than 60 volunteers help with the historic house tour. Mayrose says people can start this year’s tour at the museum, and the entire tour is within easy walking distance.
