Benicia Vintage Home & Garden Tour



Five of Benicia’s best homes – including the Fish-Riddell
mansion shown above -- will open their doors to the public for
Benicia Historical Society’s annual home and garden tour. 



The homes
offer an architectural timeline of Benicia’s history, featuring homes built from
the 1850s to the 1940s. Vintage cars will be displayed at many homes, and plein
air artists will be painting at some locations as well.



Gardens
at several homes will be open to visit, as will a fountain-filled garden in
downtown Benicia. A refreshment stop also is included in the tour.

Homes can be visited
in any order, and the entire tour loop covers 1.7 miles so it can be easily
walked. 



Tickets are
$25 in advance and $30 the day of the tour. Tickets are available online at www.beniciahistoricalsociety.org.
Tickets also may be purchased at Benicia Main Street, Bookshop Benicia and Camellia
Tea Room in downtown Benicia plus Steve’s Hallmark at the Southampton shopping
center.
