Historical Society To Host Canton Tour of Homes

CANTON, GA -- The second Historic Canton Tour of Homes will roll into town later this month.

The event, hosted by the Cherokee County Historical Society, will be held Oct. 21-22, and is designed to highlight the city's unique character and promote the city's downtown district.

The tour will highlight some of the historic homes in downtown Canton while encouraging visitors to experience the neighborhood shops and restaurants along Main Street.

“This is a really great opportunity to get a rare peek in some of Canton’s most beautifully decorated homes,” said Historical Society Executive Director Stefanie Joyner. “Then you can enjoy all of our wonderful downtown businesses before and after the tour.”

The 2016 tour will showcase four private homes: the Jones-Morgan home, the Sparks-Sellers home, the Satterfield home and the Jones-Johnston home. Shuttle buses will run continuously from the Cherokee County Historic Courthouse to all of the sites on the tour.

This event will also enable the organization to bring visitors to downtown Canton and show them the link between Canton’s history and its promising future.

All proceeds will benefit the Cherokee County Historical Society and will be used for educational and outreach programs.

The tour kicks off from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. Friday, Oct. 21. It will continue from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 22.

Tickets are $20 for Historical Society members until the week of the tour; $25 for non-members. They may be purchased online or by calling 770-345-3288. You can also purchase tickets at:
