Durham Preservation Society Sponsors Hope Valley Home Tour
I have read with interest pieces in the Herald-Sun about some of the homes on the Preservation Durham’s annual historic home tour which is in Hope Valley this year. I mentioned this to Don Stanger, a Hope Valley resident and fellow Rotarian. It turns out Don had a large role in putting together the tour guide through this neighborhood of great history and fine old homes.
I don’t know why but the stories in the Herald-Sun don’t seem to be available on their website. But maybe that’s just as well. The tour looks to be one of the more interesting that has been done in recent years and even the best of write-ups is no substitute for being there.
Check out the Hope Valley Neighborhood Association or the Preservation Durham websites for ticket information. Go to the DLRE Search page for a description of Hope Valley and access to homes for sale information from the Triangle Multiple Listing Service.
With all that is new and fun and fresh that was created in gritty tobacco factories in Downtown Durham it is sometimes easy to forget that Durham has long had a highly refined side exemplified in Hope Valley. Use the May Day weekend to refresh your memory.
