Owners will be present to explain their renovation process, problems encountered, and motivations. Butte CPR volunteers will also serve as guides, providing additional information. A short history of each building and its National Register significance will be available as well. (Ryan Mansion, 105 N. Excelsior, site of 2011 tea, left)

The tour is sponsored in part by area vendors whose products and services were used in these projects; they will also be on hand to speak with tour attendees and offer assistance in explaining their products and services. In addition the state historic preservation office will be represented.

Proceeds will benefit Butte CPR's many projects, most notably its Historic Improvement Project fund, which has provided awards of more than $25,000 to property owners for improvements. While the funds raised will be a welcome assist, the principal reasons for the tour are to inspire people to purchase and restore historic buildings in Butte (now, together with Anaconda, the nation's largest National Historic Landmark District), to show what great results can be achieved while bringing an historic building back from the brink, and to meet the varied and wonderful people who enjoy doing it. We hope that tour attendees and volunteers will find a new neighbor!

Tickets are $12.50 each or two for $20 and are available at the homes on the day of the tour, or in advance at Cavanaugh's County Celtic (131 W. Park in Butte). For more information, call (406) 723-2174 and leave a message, or e-mail info@buttecpr.org. Tickets may also be purchased June 25th at any of the 6 locations on the tour.
