The 27th Annual Historic Presevation Alliance Gala
We had yet another lovely and educational Summer Tour series. From The Pikeview Quarry to The Evergreen Cemetary, each Tour provided a wealth of information and a view that public visitors would not have the opportunity to see. We would like to thank our HPA Tour hosts, our generous guest Tour leaders who took the time to teach us so much about each historic destination and you, our Members for joining us!
