The St. Anne’s Hill Garden & Art Tour will make its biennial return Saturday, June 26, 2010, offering self-guided tours of some of Dayton’s most beautiful historic gardens and a unique selection of regional art, including the neighborhood’s two fine art galleries.


The self-guided tours will begin at the High Street Gallery located at 48 High Street in Dayton, Ohio. The tour will include a variety of unique gardens, galleries, local art vendors, and parks along our charming neighborhood streets. Visitors will pick up a program and then stroll through the gardens and galleries at their leisure. Enjoy the fresh air while perusing local art!


For a true old-fashioned treat, visit our Victorian Tea Garden for refreshments and enjoy a relaxing moment on the front lawn of the landmark Bossler Mansion overlooking downtown Dayton. This magnificent home is a landmark structure built in 1869, and it is considered Dayton’s best example of Second Empire architecture.


Tickets this year are $10 each for the tour alone, or $15 for the tour and a visit to the Victorian Tea Garden. Tickets may be ordered online at www.stanneshill.org. Ample parking is available at the Bomberger Center and Stivers School for the Arts.


Proceeds from the tour will benefit the St. Anne’s Hill Neighborhood Association, and are used to maintain the neighborhood’s historic character. Since it became a registered historic district in 1974, the St. Anne's Hill Historic District neighborhood has relied on the efforts of the volunteers in St. Anne's Hill Historic Society to insure its continued success and growth.

Alley, Swept

-
An "alley sweep" sounds like something you'd see watching "COPS" on television, but it's actually an amazing example of how neighbors can come together to improve their community.

During the annual alley sweep in St. Anne's Hill Historic District, the City sends two garbage trucks and we provide a small army of volunteers who (sometimes literally) sweep through the alleys on a saturday afternoon. The mission is to clean them up and also give everyone a chance to get rid of their junk in a rite of spring cleaning.

We had another successful Alley Sweep this year, and a delicious pasta bake lunch provided by the Wheellers afterwards.

Here are a few pictures submitted by Jim and Pat on Henry Street! Hint: Click on the photos to enlarge them.
