2006 Tour

“Vintage Elegance”
Theme for 2006 Druid Hills Tour of Homes
and Gardens
The doors to some of the Druid Hill’s most grand and vintage
homes opened to visitors during the 2006 home and
garden Tour. From a fabulous Mediterranean Villa to the
1915 Neel Reid mansion where golfing great Bobby Jones and his
wife lived during the time he achieved the grand slam of golf
-- the seven featured homes truly captured the elegance and
charm of Frederick Law Olmstead’s Druid Hills. An added
treat, free with a Tour ticket, was the expanded Druid Hills
, featuring a wide range of high caliber artists
from metro Atlanta held at Moreland Avenue Baptist
Church. Please join us for this very special spring
weekend in Druid Hills.
Please Note:
No photography, smoking, food, beverages,
backpacks or strollers allowed inside the homes. This is a walking
Tour of historical homes which may have steep and narrow stairways.
Comfortable, low heeled shoes are essential to your enjoyment of the
Tour. The Druid Hills Tour makes every effort to keep the Tour
problem-free: it assumes no responsibility for accidents or injuries
that may occur during the Tour. Please cross all streets only at
marked crosswalks and exercise utmost caution. Tour held rain or
shine.
