Press Release – Mississippi Valley Textile Museum and Almonte General Hospital Fairview Manor Foundation

Aren’t we all a little nosy? On Saturday, August 16, you’ll have the opportunity to indulge that curiosity by touring fantastic homes and historic locations around Almonte! 

What better way to spend a summer day than walking around a quaint little town, getting inspiration for your home decor, and taking a peek at how other folks live? Even better – this tour directly supports two local charities: the Almonte General Hospital Fairview Manor (AGH-FVM) Foundation and the Mississippi Valley Textile Museum (MVTM).

“We’re so excited to be part of this wonderful community tradition once again. The Town & Home Tour is such a unique way to celebrate Almonte’s charm, creativity and generosity,” said Vaia Dimas, Executive Director AGH-FVM Foundation. “Not only does it showcase the incredible character of our town, but it also helps raise funds that directly support exceptional healthcare close to home as well as preserve the history and stories of the local mill workers and labourers. Can’t wait to see you in the Friendly Town!”

“We’re thrilled to be partnering with the AGH-FVM Foundation again to bring this event to the community. It’s such an engaging and fun event to put together, and we’re grateful for the support from local homeowners and businesses. Local history, modern and historic architecture, and stunning interior design all come together on this tour, and I know it will be a real treat for visitors,” said Michael Rikley-Lancaster, MVTM Executive Director/Curator.
