Historic Preservation Commission To Host Historic Home Tour

(Le Mars) — The Le Mars Historical Preservation Commission will again be offering its Tour of Homes on Saturday, May 11th. Four homes will be featured during this year’s historical home tour. Linda Mayrose serves as the chair for the Historical Preservation Commission. She says all four homes are older homes that date back to the late 1800’s or early 1900’s and
have been renovated. Mayrose says two of the homes are located on the north end of town near the Central Avenue tear drop neighborhood.

The third home is located near the Foster Park neighborhood, and for a while was owned by a newspaper publisher.

Mayrose talks about the fourth home to be featured on the Historic Home Tour.

Each year the proceeds from the historical home tour either benefit the Plymouth County Historical Museum, or in this year’s case, the Le Mars Arts Council and the Le Mars Arts Center will benefit from the home tour.

As Linda Mayrose stated, the historic tour of homes on Saturday will begin at 10:00 a.m. and will continue until 4:00 p.m.
