Annually, The Villagers pick a handful of houses to showcase on their Holiday House Tour. This year, Nell’s House and the Arthur Montgomery Guesthouse were chosen to participate. The Villagers organized the event, which allowed nearly 700 visitors to tour six homes “Down Old Cutler Way.”
The Villagers is an organization dedicated to the restoration and preservation of historic sites. They have supported numerous projects here at Montgomery Botanical Center. The most recent project supported the restoration of the Arthur Montgomery Guesthouse.
Montgomery Botanical Center distributed an information sheet about MBC to all visitors on the Holiday House Tour. Included in the< document were interesting facts about MBC’s history and two Christmas Cards from the 1940s that Colonel Montgomery and Nell Montgomery sent to their friends.
“Being on The Villagers tour exposed Montgomery Botanical Center to many local residents who previously had no knowledge of our organization. We are very grateful for The Villagers continued support,” said Outreach Manager Tracy Magellan.
