Sherman Hill “Doors to the Past” Walking Tour – Sept. 28 – 29
We are excited to share that the Wallace House will once again be a stop on the Sherman Hill “Doors to the Past” Walking Tour. While on this tour, you can take a peek into the past of Des Moines’ oldest neighborhood, and learn about the homes and people that shaped that shaped it. This once-a-year event is a must for everyone and a unique opportunity to visit the Wallace House. We will be open to the public from 10 am – 4 pm on both days and we encourage you to stop by to learn more about the Wallaces’ of Iowa.
Tickets for the tour are on sale with the Sherman Hill Association and can be found on their website. If you wish to volunteer at the Wallace House for this event, please contact Colette Atwood for more information. We look forward to seeing you there!
