Special Tours at Troy Museum & Historic Village Include Buttermaking Opportunity

 

(TROY, MI) – The three homes at the Troy Museum & Historic Village will once again be part of the “Homelife Tour & Buttermaking” program.  The first tour is scheduled for Saturday, September 6, from 1-2:15 pm.  Two more will be held Saturday, October 4 and Saturday, November 1, again from 1-2:15 pm.

 

“People in Troy have always tried to create comfortable homes, but home life has certainly changed over time,” Museum Manager Loraine Campbell said.  “These tours will help participants explore what living was like in three separate eras.”

 

The experience will include a look at life in the 1830s in the log cabin, the 1860s in the Caswell House, and the 1910s in the Parsonage.  A buttermaking opportunity with tasty samples will follow the tour.

 

Registration is going on now at the Museum, located at 60 W. Wattles Rd. (NW corner of Wattles and Livernois).  The fee is $5 per person.  Space is limited.  For more information, call 248.524.3570.
