Dear HRPS Members and Friends,
We just wrapped up another successful Walking Tour season - 25 walks and 1 bike tour. Thanks to all who attended! And if you missed one, we'll be bringing back many of your favorites and a few new ones next year. We also have a few ideas percolating for new Artown programming. Stay tuned!
Meanwhile, while you were out strolling the neighborhoods, another team has been busy organizing our 2025 Harvest of Homes Tour, scheduled for Saturday, September 20, 2025. It is our most anticipated event of the year!
The announcement, with registration link and home descriptions, went out earlier this morning. Tickets will again be $40 for members and $50 for non-members. All tickets will be $50 at the door so we encourage you to register in advance.
We acquired many new members this summer who joined to take advantage of free admission to the Walking Tours. Welcome to the HRPS family! You will now receive these monthly email newsletters, our quarterly FootPrints publication, and information about all of our activities and events. We hope it helps you become better informed and feel even more connected to the people and places that helped shape our great community.
August 1 marks the transition from Artown to Hot August Nights, a celebration of history of a different sort, and a fun one at that. Those of us who grew up in the 40s, 50s, and 60s, may have better recollections of the cars our family, friends, neighbors drove than where they lived and what they looked like!
There are many other great community events this month. As always, we encourage you to get out, look up, and enjoy the cultural and historical riches of our community. And don't forget to download the Reno Historical app before you go. It's your guide to hundreds of historic places around town.
