Historic homes with unique histories featured in home tour

The Casper and Mary Ann Berry home in Providence is one of six homes in the 2013 Cache Valley Historic Home Tour.

LOGAN – Six homes in Logan and Providence, built by Cache Valley’s earliest settlers, are featured Saturday in the sixth annual Cache Valley <a href=”http://www.tourcachevalley.com/assets/templates/visitors/2013%20Historic%20Home%20Brochure%20lr_1.pdf” target=”_blank”>historic home tour</a>, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The event is presented by the Cache Valley Historical Society and the Cache Valley Visitors Bureau.

“These homes are on the historical register and it’s such a great opportunity to have a chance to actually go inside some of these beautiful homes that are so well restored,” said Julie Hollist, Cache Visitors Bureau Director.

Some of the homes have unique histories.

The Scott Barrett and Ed Quinlan home at 492 West 200 South was once the home of infamous stagecoach robber “Black Jack” Nelson. Another home (496 East 100 South) was built as an elementary school in the late 1800s.

Hollist said details are available at <a href=”http://www.visitlogan.com” target=”_blank”>visitloganutah.com</a> and brochures are available at the Cache Valley Visitors Bureau office, 199 North Main.

Tickets, $10 each, are on sale at the CVVB office, at both Lee’s Marketplace locations and at Macey’s Food and Drug.

Money raised will fund scholarships for USU students studying regional history and for bus transportation for local elementary school children to visit the American West Heritage Center.
