Kissing Tree Partners With San Marcos Heritage Association For 42nd Annual Heritage Home Tour

“Kissing Tree is invested in the history and heritage that makes San Marcos truly unique,” Dirk Gosda, president at Brookfield Residential Texas, said.

San Marcos, TX – Brookfield Residential’s new baby boomer community, Kissing Tree, recently announced a partnership with San Marcos Heritage Association’s Heritage Home Tour.

The 42nd annual event takes place on May 4-7 and includes several events throughout the weekend. This year’s theme focuses on the magic of interior design.

To kick off the festivities, the Heritage Association will host a preview of the weekend on Thursday, May 4, in Kissing Tree’s Model Home Park with food, music and entertainment by professional magicians and comedians. Tickets may be purchased for the preview event along with the Heritage Home Tour.

On Friday, May 5, guests can explore the town and the river, including a “Magical History Tour” of downtown San Marcos. There are commercial and historic sites of interest to both visitors and longtime residents, including puzzles to solve and an art gallery reception in the afternoon. Kissing Tree will also host a free open house on Friday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., with live music from 4 to 6 p.m.

All of these events are building up to the weekend’s traditional home tour. Saturday and Sunday’s historic district home tour and designer showcase will be open from noon to 5 p.m. This tour includes eight historic and modern homes throughout San Marcos.

Kissing Tree’s Clarkson model is one of seven featured homes on the tour, and guests will have the opportunity to gather tips and tricks for interior design from Millennium Designs—the interior designer of all the Kissing Tree model homes.

“Kissing Tree is invested in the history and heritage that makes San Marcos truly unique,” Dirk Gosda, president at Brookfield Residential Texas, said. “We’re excited to be a part of this year’s stellar line-up of events and it is our pleasure to support an organization and an event that recognizes San Marcos’ rich history.”

All proceeds will fund Heritage preservation projects, as San Marcos possesses one of the largest intact residential historic districts in the state. Kissing Tree recently announced a historic landmark marker on its property that will celebrate the land’s rich history dating back to the 1840s.

The 2017 tour will be self-guided, with visitors driving themselves to each of the tour sites. For tickets and event information, visit www.heritagesanmarcos.org or call 512-392-4295.
