LOUISIANA, Mo. — With homes decorated for the upcoming Christmas holidays and a chill in the air, the Louisiana Community Betterment Assoc. in conjunction with the Louisiana Visitors and Convention Bureau, sponsored the Victorian Home Tour on Saturday, December 4, 2021. The Home Tour included 5 of the oldest Victorian homes in the Louisiana community and smashed the number of visitors from the last tour in 2017.
People from as far away as Ohio gave rave reviews about the beautiful homes that were included on the tour ticket. Two homes on Main St., two homes on Georgia St. and one home on N. 4th. St. were featured on the tour. Tickets could be reserved at a reduced rate through the VisitLouisianaMO.com page or could be purchased the day of the tour for an additional $5.
“We are extremely pleased with the turn-out for the tour,” stated Diana Huckstep, LCBA Chairperson. “We were hoping that the event would be a success and it truly was. Homeowners welcomed people into their lovely homes and were given not only a tour, but cookies, hot chocolate, bookmarks and other items,” stated Huckstep.
Proceeds from the Victorian Home Tour will be used between both organizations to improve the Louisiana community and help build a Victorian style pavilion in one of the local pocket parks. Plans are already underway for next year’s tour.
