Tour of Historic Homes to take place this weekend

The Le Mars Historic Preservation Commission and the Le Mars Arts Center will host the annual Tour of Historic Homes this upcoming Saturday.

Four historic Le Mars homes will be open for viewing: 329 3rd Ave SE, 17 4th St NE, 120 12th St SW and 32096 Hwy 3. Le Mars’ 157-year history is partially represented in entries in the National Register of Historic Places, including the Downtown District, Foster Park District, Municipal Park District, and several individual buildings. A press release from the Commission states that “our homes are also reminders of our history.”

The homes will be open on Saturday, May 2nd, from noon to 4:00pm. Tickets are $15 for adults and $5 for children 12 and under, and can be purchased in advance at City Hall or the Le Mars Arts Center, or online at lemarsarts.com. For more information, contact Richard Ziettlow of the Preservation Commission at 712-541-0404.
