Six private homes around Frankfort will be open to the public for
walk-throughs between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. on Aug. 1, 2019 for the 37
thannual “Tour of Interesting Places,” presented by the Paul Oliver Memorial Hospital Auxiliary. Tour guests are invited to visit the diverse selection of residences, which include three waterfront properties on Crystal Lake, all originally mid-twentieth century summer cottages, and each uniquely enlarged and renovated; an ultra-contemporary ranch; a 1930s-era Art Deco-style home on a bluff overlooking Lake Michigan; and an in-town Victorian built in 1865. Art lovers and nostalgia buffs alike will delight in this year’s ‘Tour of Interesting Places,’” said Sharon Grajcar, event chair. “The homes of three local award-winning artists – Ellie Harold, Ann Loveless and Steve Loveless – are featured this year. And one of the beachfront homes is a showcase for Japanese and Chinese porcelain artifacts. In addition, Grajcar added, “Stormcloud’s beautiful and energy efficient new brewery off of M-115 will also be open to Tour guests.” Southern SinThesis’ food truck is scheduled to be on site as well. Restrooms are also available for Tour participants. The Auxiliary is very grateful to the six homeowners and to Rick Schmitt at Stormcloud for opening their doors for this year’s fundraising Tour,” said Grajcar. Tickets for the Tour of Interesting Places can be purchased before the event for $20 at Hull’s of Frankfort, the Paul Oliver Memorial Hospital Gift Shop, Crystal Crate and Cargo in Beulah, or online at
