History, Beauty of Homes Showcased

Annual home and garden tour is scheduled.

The Grafton Garden Club and the Grafton Historical Society will jointly host a tour of nine of Grafton’s Historic Homes and Gardens from noon to 5 p.m. Sunday, June 12.

The tour begins at the historic Grafton Common where participants can purchase tickets and receive a map and program. This is a self-guided event; participants drive to each house on the tour.

At each house two volunteer docents will assist in the tour of the garden and will provide a detailed description of the historic house. The tour does not include a visit to the inside of the house.
