For
the past 35 years, Salisbury has set aside the second weekend of
October for a tour of eight to ten historic properties. The 2010
tour will begin on Saturday, October 9th and conclude Sunday, October
10th. Meticulously planned and organized by the Historic Salisbury
Foundation, OctoberTour stands among the elite historic home tours
of North Carolina. It is a short course in architecture, history,
restoration and antiques. It has also provided the foundation with
funds that helped save or protect some 100 older homes from demolition.
