About this event
Join us for the 67th Annual Capitol Hill Restoration Society House and Garden Tour, which will feature nine beautiful homes and gardens, and three interesting semi-public buildings, all within the Capitol Hill Historic District. The tour is a two-day event.
A refreshment break with treats from local vendors, at the historic Hill Center at the Old Naval Hospital, is included. In addition to the tour of the homes, gardens, and buildings, an architectural tour of the Hill Center will be offered both Saturday and Sunday.
The artwork on this year's catalogue and poster was created and donated by Capitol Hill photographer, Rindy O'Brien.
Capitol Hill Restoration Society was founded 69 years ago to help preserve and protect the historic neighborhood’s architectural and residential character. Our mission has been, and continues to be, to uplift the community we live in through education, preservation, and events in celebration of the diverse community and history of the Hill.
We welcome new members! A one-year membership starts at $35, and all members can purchase discounted tour tickets. For more information: https://app.joinit.com/o/chrs-capitolhillrestorationsociety
