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.
