🏠 Only 150 tickets remain!

If you’ve ever walked through Old Town Alexandria and wondered what’s behind the doors of its beautiful historic homes, The Twig’s Historic Alexandria Homes Tour offers a chance to find out.

The annual fall tour on Saturday, September 26, lets guests step inside selected historic residences while enjoying a day exploring Old Town. Each ticket also includes a printed tour book — which doubles as your ticket and guide — plus free admission to the Alexandria History Museum at the Lyceum on tour day.

Tickets are $50, and online sales are scheduled to end September 10. But with just 150 tickets left, the event may sell out before then.

Grab a friend and make a day of it. Which historic home would you most want to peek inside?

DID YOU KNOW ???

🏠 Why Is Your Smoke Detector Turning Yellow?

If you have an older smoke detector that has turned yellow or cream, it may not be dirt!

Over the years, the plastic can change color from exposure to heat, light, and air. The yellowing itself isn’t dangerous, but it can be a good reminder to check the age of the alarm.

🔎 Take a look at the manufacture date on the back.

Smoke alarms that are 10 years old or older should be replaced, whether they are yellow or still look perfectly white.

A small home-safety check that takes just a minute — and could make a big difference. ❤️
