Benicia Vintage Home & Garden Tour
Pride of Place
Five of Benicia's best homes -- including the Fish-Riddell mansion shown above -- will open their doors to the public for Benicia Historic 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.
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 at Steve's Hallmark at Southampton shopping center in Benicia.
