Five private Northville homes will open
for public tours from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. for
one day only, Saturday, Sept. 23.
The annual home tour is the major
fundraiser for the Northville-Novi branch
of the American Association of University
Women (AAUWNN). The $20 donation
helps support activities to advance equity
and empower women and girls through
community outreach projects and provides
access to the five homes, along with special
offers at several local businesses who help
support the tour.
Docents will guide visitors through a
Victorian-era Queen Anne style home; a
home with a story to tell in family heir-
looms; a professionally-decorated lake
condo; a former model home with builder
details and special items collected from
Asian travels and a large designer home
that has a game room, workout room, home
theater and wine cellar. Two homes have
new Epiphany kitchens. For a delicious
reminder of the event, $5 recipe books will
be available for purchase at one of the
homes.
Two downtown Northville businesses
will add to the fun. The Lace Museum of
Detroit is extending hours for ticket holders
on Saturday. Visitors can stroll through a
rare collection of European and American
19th century handmade lace in a salon-style
settingwhere special pieces will be for sale.
Conveniently located across the street, visi-
tors can enjoy complimentary refreshments
and a 10-percent discount on all purchases
at Starring “TheGallery” from2 to 5 p.m.
Tickets are available at: Starring “The
Gallery,” 118 W. Main St., Northville;
