The tour begins at 11:00 a.m. and should last until around 1:00 p.m. with discussion and appetizers following at Bistro New Albany.

Readers are also reminded that Treet's Bakery Cafe, occupying the storefront of the Bergmans' building, is open for breakfast tomorrow and the next couple of Saturdays as part of a trial run for weekend hours.
