On Saturday, Oct. 15 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., the eighth annual Tyler's ‘Old Rose’ Open House will be held at the 1859 Goodman-LeGrand House and Museum as part of Tyler’s Rose Season and the Texas Rose Festival weekend celebration.

Introductory speeches will be given at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. Lovely Rose Belles will greet visitors as they enter to tour the historic mansion. Self-guided tours of this lovely old southern home will be available throughout the day. One official tour will be given at 12:30 p.m.

As a special treat, rides will be available on a beautiful horse-drawn carriage decorated in roses. The route will take riders from the Goodman estate, down Broadway Avenue, around Tyler’s Downtown Square before heading back to the mansion. Carriage rides will be provided by Farm Valley Carriages. There is a small fee of $25 per ride (four to six people).

This event is sponsored by the Tyler Parks and Recreation Department. Admission is free and complimentary refreshments will be provided.
