What does a spectacular home in the Council Rock area, a historic farm house near Brockport, a 184-year-old elegant Rochester mansion, and a trendy mid-century modern dwelling in Brighton have in common? They are all part of The Landmark Society’s 50th Anniversary (Virtual) House and Garden Tour. Good news! Since the tour is virtual, you don’t have to drive between all of these locations. They will “come to you” in a professionally produced video tour, available on your favorite computer, tablet or smart TV in October. Stay tuned–tickets go on sale mid-September! |
