May 1999 Home Tour
Welcome to our 1999 Historic Home Tour.
It has been ten years since our last home tour and the popularity and success of the first two home tours have prompted us to plan yet a third.
This tour serves a dual purpose. It helps us fulfill the Society's mission of preserving the history of our area and sharing it with the public and it also serves as a fund raiser for other programs provided by the Historical Society throughout the year.
Volunteers are the cornerstone of the East Benton County Historical Society and in 1982, after the hard and dedicated work of many of the communities finest, the doors of the East Benton County Historical Museum were opened. Much of the work done by the Society is performed by people just like you, who enjoy learning and sharing information about our past. This home tour is no exception. We would like to thank all that have worked to make this third Historic Home Tour possible.
We invite you to join us in our enjoyment and enthusiasm of saving and sharing the past by becoming a member of the East Benton County Historical Society. Household dues for a calendar year, January through December are $15.00. Please send your name, address and phone number, along with your membership donation to:
