| MHPN 20th Annual Fall Benefit |
The Michigan Historic Preservation Network's 20th Annual Fall Benefit will be held Saturday, October 11, 2014. Members and friends of the Michigan Historic Preservation Network (MHPN) have gotten together every fall for twenty years and the MHPN always chooses a noteworthy historic venue as the evening's backdrop. This year's venue is the Tibbits Opera House in Coldwater, a building with a story of stunning reclamation. Detroit architect Mortimer Smith designed the exquisite Second Empire fa�ade of the Tibbits Opera House built in 1882. The following decades brought changes and neglect but a recent restoration effort has restored the opera house to its original glory and it must be seen to be believed!
The public is invited to the MHPN's 20th Annual Fall Benefit which includes strolling dinner fare and dessert, a hosted beer and wine bar, opera house tours, silent and live auctions, and more. RSVP by Friday, October 3, at 6:00 PM. For more information, go to the visit the MHPN website, call 517-371-8080, or e-mail [email protected]. The website also includes information on the evening's commuter bus.
