Step Back in Time for a Cause.
Immerse yourself in the rich tapestry of our region’s history as you explore a curated selection of distinguished historical homes, some dating back to the 1850s, paired with a classic Devonshire tea experience. Marvel at architecture that reflects the elegance of bygone eras, with each home telling a unique story of the families who once lived within its walls.
