Historic Elsah Garden Tour
 

Date to be announced
9 am to 2 pm

Elsah is known as "town that time forgot" and many visitors have walked through its picturesque streets and admired the 19th century architecture of the village. Many of the residents of Elsah have added to its beauty by creating and maintaining lovely gardens which are not normally accessible to visitors. In a special event sponsored by the Elsah Historic Foundation visitors can tour eight of Elsah’s private gardens. So park your car, step back in time, and take a stroll in a village that represents a wonderful sense of history. Food will be available at Jeremiah's on LaSalle Street. Specialty plants from local nurseries and from local gardens will be available for sale.
