Some of Charleston’s most beautiful private homes and gardens will be part of the annual Ashley Hall Tour of Homes and Gardens on Saturday, April 12, 2008, from 2:00-5:00pm. This tour offers a rare glimpse of some architecturally unique private dwellings and gardens that are not normally on display to the public. The tour takes place in the historic district and all the homes and gardens are within walking distance of each other.
“The Ashley Hall Tour of Homes and Gardens grants unprecedented access to some of the most gorgeous homes in the downtown Charleston area. Visitors will enjoy private access while supporting the Alumnae Scholarship Fund,†says Barbara Bush, proud Ashley Hall Alumni.
