Home Garden Tour Plans Are Readied

Lewis. K. Marshall, general chairman of the Home and Garden tour sponsored by the Brick Store Museum of Kennebunk, announced today that all was in readiness for the July 25 event. Open for the first time in Kennebunkport will be Blueberry Hill, the home of singer actress and TV star Jane Morgan. This 1790 farmhouse has been restored by Miss Morgan and features a modern kitchen with early American charm. Also open is the Kennebunkporter Playhouse owned by Robert Currier, built about 1800, attractively decorated with early American pieces. The Nott House White Columns has remained in the family since 1853. Formerly a summer home, it became the year-round home of the late Richard Allen Nott, active in the Kennebunkport Historical Society. Oriental wallpaper and color carpets decorate the Victorian Parlor. Thirteen other homes and gardens, the Brick Store Museum, and the Unitarian Church with its Paul Revere Bell are included. Lunch will be served at the church. Several homes are open to the public for the first time and may never be again. The tour runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
