The Stuart Historic Homes Tour was a huge success thanks to the 110 volunteers who came out and helped at the event! There are so many we would like to thank including those from Loy Norrix, Kalamazoo Christian, Hackett, WMU, KVCC, and all the individuals who signed up. We want to make personal shout outs to - Jessica, Gabe, Katelyn, Denny, Nick, Matt, Judy, Bev, Amy, Marlene, and many, many more!

When we opened the Tour Headquarter doors at noon on Saturday and the Woodward School rotunda was flooded with tour attendees, every single volunteer knew how important their role was and worked so hard to help kick off this event like never before. 350 tour attendees checked-in in the first hour!

We are so very thankful for all the volunteers who worked together to create an amazing experience for the neighborhood and the city of Kalamazoo!

One volunteer even came to the event in style dressed in Victorian attire! Thank you, Colleen Woolpert!
