TO PAST, CURRENT, AND FUTURE TOUR PARTICIPANTS
As always, these tours would not be possible without your participation and support. If you would like us to showcase your historic property, or if you would like to volunteer, donate, or advertise, please contact Dottie Rosenbaum at Dottie.Rosenbaum@gmail.com or Pam Ruminski at p_ruminski@yahoo.com. Currently, the Candlelight Tours are on hold due to COVID. There will not be a Candlelight Tour in 2022, but please contact us if you would like to participate in our next tour.
People Engaged in Preservation takes the utmost care to ensure the safety of your home. We provide multiple volunteers at your home or business, and provide booties for attendees to wear over their shoes to protect your floors. The owners are asked to decorate their property for Christmas, and open their homes both days for the tour.
Your participation in the tour promotes the preservation of historic properties in La Porte by showcasing the architecture and craftsmanship not found in properties built today. The proceeds of the tour are used to protect and preserve historic properties in
La Porte.
Thank you!
