The Greendale Historical Society is inviting the public to stroll and enjoy the past and present in historic Greendale on Saturday, September 19 during the second “Tour of Original Homes.”

Visitors to Greendale often express their desire to see the inside of a Greendale ‘original’ home.“ Several of these beautiful, historic homes will be open to the public and The Greendale Historical Society is proud to be able to offer this opportunity. The tour is a great, fun event for visitors and the community. Greendale is one of the nation’s three historic Greenbelt communities and is recognized by the Wisconsin and National Registers of Historic Places.

This year, visitors will be able to explore Greendale’s historic Village Hall. Inspired by the Capitol at Colonial Williamsburg, Virginia -- it is a fine example of the Colonial Revival style and its main meeting room has recently ungone a major restoration.

For more information call (414) 423-7064.
