The Historic Beaufort Foundation's Fall Festival of Houses and Gardens returns this October 25, 26, and 27 to show off Beaufort, "from a rare vantage point: a selection of private homes, gardens, and plantations normally not open to the public welcome visitors inside. The houses represent three centuries of Beaufort architecture for which the city is justly famous. These self-paced walking tours offer a distinctive opportunity to observe how contemporary lifestyles are lived within the framework of our unmatched architectural heritage."
