The daylight is waning as the days go by and so is the opportunity to get tickets to The Landmark Society's 2011 Ghost Walk. Join lantern bearing guides as we explore a unique street in Rochester--Arnold Park. Historic preservation is about bringing new life to older structures and the amazing homes on Arnold Park are never more lively than when they have a ghost on their porches or steps. You will love the Second Empire rooflines, the Gothic Revival details, the Colonial Revival pilasters--as you shudder at the dark side of Rochester's real history.

Can you handle the truth? Advance sale tickets are $15 and may be purchased here or at Parkleigh (215 Park Ave.). Landmark Society members may get $10 advance tickets through The Landmark Society only. Tickets at the door (if available) will be $18 for all. 

The results are in! Each year, The Landmark Society polls selected candidates running for office in Monroe County about their positions on preservation-related issues. Take a look at the responses on our website before you go to the polls so that you know where candidates stand on the issues that are important to our communities, our economies, and our sense of place.  

Join us for two Tuesdays in November and gain the info and insight you need to effectively market and sell historic houses in Rochester. Sponsored by the Greater Rochester Association of Realtors, this intensive class consists of two full days of in-class presentations and bus tours, led by The Landmark Society's Cynthia Howk. Topics to be covered include: architectural styles; maintenance & repair of older homes; financial incentives; the myths and realities of landmark designation; and more! 

This class is designed especially for realtors selling older homes in the greater Rochester area but is also open to the general public. Visit GRAR's website for complete information and to register.  

November 8 & 15 | 8am-5pm | The Landmark Society, 133 S Fitzhugh | $199 for GRAR members | 15 CE hours
