The Fine Print

Please be on time at the starting point. We've got a full day with lots of great houses. Buses leave promptly, and in fairness to other participants we will leave without you!
Once payment is made, there are no refunds for any reason except for tour cancellation. However, you can transfer your place to another person with at least a week's written notice to devra@usmodernist.org.
The tour runs rain or shine. The itinerary and order of trip events are subject to change without notice or refund.
A signed liability release is required for all participants. We'll send this to you ahead of time. Please read, print, sign, and bring with you to registration; do not email them. Those travelling together may sign the same form. Parents must sign for and accompany anyone under 18.
Some houses are not ADA accessible. Participants must navigate stairs unaided and be able to walk for at least an hour at a time. You may stay on the bus at any point if you wish. Architects can get self-reported CEU hours if arranged in advance with the AIA.
