Some kitchens, while serving today's needs, remain close to the original design of the kitchen for the old home. In most homes, other rooms of the house are able to be viewed as people enter or exit the home. Food tastings, from local restaurants, are served in five of the homes. A painting by a local artist is commissioned for the poster for the event, and the original painting is raffled on the day of the tour. Tickets will be sold at the home sites on the day of the tour.
