Sewickley is steeped in history. Once a summer haven for industrialists and business leaders, the area maintains the feeling of a bygone era with its historic homes and village atmosphere. For two days every other year, six local homeowners offer a glimpse into the area's gracious past, or a stunning vision of the state-of-the-art in design and function. Homes are chosen for architectural and historic importance. The tour will run on Friday, May 4 from 9:00am-4:00pm, bus ($88, which includes lunch) or self-guided ($30) walking tours and from 6:00pm-9:00pm for a self-guided Candlelight Tour (also $30). On Saturday, May 5, self-guided walking tours run from 9:00am-4:00pm. As in years past, a bus tour by Lenzner Coach Lines will be available. Please see the website for more information.
