“We Love You Just the Way You Are”
The Eagles Mere August Cottage Tour
Sunday, August 17th

The Eagles Mere Museum invites you to spend an afternoon stepping back into Eagles Mere history during our second bi-annual cottage tour. This year’s tour will showcase cottages with interiors and unique original features that have been beloved and preserved by the owners over the years.

Ten cottages will be open from 1:00 – 4:00 on the day of the tour. And, while we can’t promise a room that looks exactly like the one pictured (after all, family furnishings and amenities do change over the years), we can promise spaces with an ambience that speaks to summers spent in Eagles Mere in the distant past.

Tour locations will include stops in the Park and along Eagles Mere, LaPorte and Pennsylvania Avenues. This summer, the museum is celebrating A. C. Little, Eagles Mere’s master builder of the late 1800’s and early 1900’s with a museum exhibit. A number of A.C. Little built cottages will be among those on the cottage tour.

Tours will begin on the Museum porch and visitors will receive a keepsake guide that includes information on the history, and history of ownership, of the cottages. Also, a raffle drawing for original works by Eagles Mere artists and artisans will complete the day, with raffle tickets at $5 each or 5 for $20 (cash only) available for purchase in the museum.

Reservations for the tour can be made by calling the museum at 570-525-3155 or by visiting. Tickets are $30 pp for museum members and $35 per person for non-members and members’ guests.

Tour goers are encouraged to make the most of their day and their step back in time by combining their tour with lunch at the historic Sweet Shop prior to the tour or dinner at the Sweet Shop or the equally historic Eagles Mere Inn afterward.
