The Sudbury Historical Society (SHS) is sponsoring the second in a series of house tours featuring Sudbury’s neighborhoods on Saturday, May 21st, from 10 AM to 3 PM. Rain or shine. If you enjoy history, architecture, and tales of the past, you will not want to miss this event!

This year’s tour features the King Philip neighborhood and includes six residences plus the former B&M Railroad Section House. You can learn about the history of the neighborhood including the story of the Battle of Green Hill during the King Philip War to the neighborhood’s evolution as a prominent residential, industrial, and commercial center. You can also talk with design experts from the Boston Design Guide located at the historic site known as the Wood-Davison House. In addition, you can shop, dine, and sample wares at local businesses such as Julian’s Catering & Events, Duck Soup, and Bearly Read Books in the Historic District.

Tickets may be purchased now through the day of the event from the SHS. General admission is $30 and $25 for SHS Members. For more details, see the SHS flyer. You can also e-mail SHSHomeTour@sudbury01776.org for reservations or for more information. Tickets will be held at the door at the will-call line. Advance purchase is recommended to allow less waiting and maximum time for the tour.  You can also drop off your payment at the SHS on the 2nd floor of Town Hall or mail a check to 322 Concord Road, Sudbury, MA 01776.

Check in for the tour on May 21st at the Hunt House (61 King Philip Road) to pick up the informational tour booklet and map. The tour is self-guided and may be done primarily on foot.  Given the narrow roadways, there is no parking along King Philip Road itself or in homeowner’s driveways. Instead park along the broader roads to the north of King Philip such as Indian Ridge, Allen and Bradley Place, Winsor Road, and Singletary Lane and walk down to the registration area. Parking is also available in Mill Village and the Goodnow Library. For best access to the Railroad Section House, park on Maple Avenue.

Proceeds from this fundraiser support the Sudbury Historical Society and the project to build Sudbury’s future History Center & Museum at the Loring Parsonage. This event is funded in part by a grant from the Sudbury Cultural Council, a local agency which is supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state agency. Additional event sponsors to date include: a Blade of Grass, Craft Beer Cellar, Delly’s Consignment Boutique, Hounds Barbershop & Co., The Organic Mattress, The Optical Place, and Unlimited Links. To make donations or for event sponsorship, e-mail mailto:director@sudbury01776.org or access an application here.
