Kit Homes Tour
Saturday, September 28, 2024 | 10 AM - 4 PM
Did you know that 100 years ago you could order a home from a Sears catalog? In today's terms, it's kind of like ordering something from Amazon. These homes were shipped to you in a train box car and every piece of lumber was labeled. You would receive detailed plans on how to put those pieces together. They sent you everything you needed, including the nails. Berkley has over 50 still standing! That’s a lot for a city less than 2 square miles.
The Berkley Kit Homes Tour celebrates these homes across our great city.
