FRAMINGHAM, MA -- The Framingham History Center presents their 9th Annual House Tour on Sunday, May 17th, 2009.  This year's Tour celebrates eight historically intriguing residences in diverse settings for which Framingham is proudly famous.

The John Bent House (c. 1662) is Framingham's longest standing house and is a must see! Nearby, guests will see an oft-admired 1767 Colonial along the Old Connecticut Path.

Visitors will navigate the Union Avenue corridor to view a new home in the storied Warren Oaks neighborhood and redesigned 19th century office suites.

Other sites offer promising variety as the final trek to green pastures on the farmlands of the Northwest quadrant rewards with a house filled with both mystery and history.
