The Benton House Tour of Homes is the main fundraising activity for the Benton House. The revenue from the tour helps contribute to the maintenance and upkeep of the House. In 2006, the tour funded a beautiful new sign and current roof replacement. Two furnaces are currently needing to be replaced. The 2007 tour was a great success, raising over $7,000. We are very grateful for the homeowners, the tour sponsors, and for the florists who donated arrangements for the homes. We are especially appreciative of the Home Tour Committee for their many months of hard work and dedication.
