STAMFORD, CT, May 16, 2007 - Local history buffs will appreciate this opportunity to take a peek inside an historic Deer Hill Avenue home in Danbury and benefit the AmeriCares Free Clinic of Danbury at the same time.

The Danbury Museum and Historical Society has provided a published self-guided walking tour of other prominent Deer Hill Avenue homes, with details about their architectural styles and their original owners. The tour is sponsored by Union Savings Bank and other local vendors.
All tickets are $15 if purchased in advance; admission at the door on June 23 & 24 is $20, with all proceeds benefiting the AmeriCares Free Clinic of Danbury.
