Sign In/Registration will take place at the Society's headquarters at the James and Elizabeth Tarr Mansion at 869 Diamond Park. Participants will receive an arm band, event shirt, and program booklet featuring photographs, history, and map to get them to over a dozen historic homes, gardens, commercial buildings, churches, and Allegheny College's recently restored Bentley Hall.
