The Los Altos History Museum has scheduled its fourth annual Spring Home Garden Tour, “Los Altos Hills Lifestyles Along Historic Moody Road” 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., May 7.

For the first time in its history, the tour will focus exclusively on the Los Altos Hills area. It will feature a mix of five historic and modern homes including the landmark Adobe Creek Lodge, the bucolic former residence of the Duveneck family in Hidden Villa; two unique homes located in exclusive Pink Horse Ranch; and a contemporary residence reflecting today’s Los Altos Hills lifestyle.

Cost is $30 per person for museum members, $35 for non-members.

The popular Museum Store Garden Boutique and refreshments will also be available this year. Access to homes will be by shuttle bus only; buses will leave from at Foothill College in Los Altos Hills.

To kick-off the tour, a “Premier Evening” is scheduled 6-8 p.m., May 6, in Los Altos Hills at the historic 1902 residence of Steve Finn. Cost for the “Premier Evening” is $125 per person and includes the May 7 tour. Proceeds fund the museum’s changing exhibits and educational programs.

For more information on the tour and how to obtain tickets, call the Los Altos History Museum 948-9427, ext. 15.

The mission of the Los Altos History Museum is “to collect, preserve and interpret the history of the Los Altos area.” Permanent exhibits include the interactive “Crown of the Peninsula: Los Altos Land Use Over Time (with free audio tour),” the J. Gilbert Smith History House (house museum) and outdoor agricultural exhibits.

The facility, including a garden, patio and catering kitchen, is located in a historic apricot orchard and is available for private functions.

The museum is a partnership between the Association of the Los Altos Historical Museum, a private non-profit organization and the city of Los Altos under the Recreation Department. The museum is open from noon to 4 p.m. Thursdays through Sundays. It is located at 51 S. San Antonio Road. Admission is free.
