Home and Garden Tour: ARCH hosts a Historic Home and Garden tour on the last Saturday of June annually. Each year, ARCH works with a historic neighborhood in Fort Wayne, providing tour-planning expertise to the neighborhood and splitting the tour proceeds, so that both organizations can complete historic preservation projects. The 2009 Tour will be held in historic Southwood Park, adjoining Foster Park.
