War Memorial History Tour
The Grosse Pointe War Memorial leads a 90-minute tour of the nearly century-old Alger House on Thursday, February 11, at 10 a.m. in Grosse Pointe Farms. It's free, and you register ahead.
The Alger House started out as a private home, became a museum, and is now a community landmark. It has hosted political figures, inventors, and cultural icons. On the tour you'll see the mansion's architectural details and art, and hear family stories, tales of notable guests, and a few mysterious moments from the archives.
Tours happen on the second Thursday of each month at 10 a.m. and are capped at 20 guests, so it stays personal. The home is wheelchair accessible, with an elevator to all floors.
Attending costs nothing, but there's a Pay What You Wish option if you'd like to chip in any amount to support the program. Parties of 8 or more can ask about a private group tour.
