Tour of Cottages raises funds for Elder Network

The annual Cottage Tour to benefit Elder Network will be held Tuesday, July 31 from 3 to 7 p.m. Attendees may tour the five historic lake cottages in any order.

A Cottage Tour Boutique will be located at the Theatre L'Homme Dieu Campus, with lemonade served.

Advance tickets are $20 and are available at Elden's Fresh Foods, Pete's County Market and Trumm Drug, all in Alexandria. Tickets purchased on-site are $25. A map and directions to each cottage will be included on the tickets.

Visitors are encouraged to carpool and wear comfortable walking shoes.

Proceeds benefit Elder Network - a volunteer service dedicated to supporting people age 55 and older through times of transition, loss and change. The program's goal is to help seniors continue living safely and independently in their homes. Supplemental funds are provided by Thrivent Financial for Lutherans.

Following are the cottages featured on this year's tour:
