Home-tour event in Columbia

Columbia's villages are putting on a home tour this Sunday -- their first -- that will crisscross through the earliest parts of the planned community.

The places to see: a waterfront townhouse in Wilde Lake, a "green" home in Oakland Mills, a contemporary-style house in Harper's Choice and two homes in Long Reach. The event, a fundraiser for the One Month's Rent Initiative, costs $20 a person and is co-sponsored by the Columbia Archives.

It's slated to run from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. (The tours are self-guided and the homes are not for sale, in case you're wondering.)

Besides the tour, there will be refreshments and a display at the Other Barn, 5851 Robert Oliver Place in Columbia. Tickets are for sale at all Columbia's village centers through Saturday and at Oakland Mills and Long Reach village centers on Sunday.
