Cocktails for Preservation

Cocktails for Preservation is a special opportunity for supporters of Preservation Dallas to tour exclusive and rarely opened-to-the-public homes. Guests are treated to hors d-oeurves and drinks along with a tour and history of the estate. Because of the exclusivity of the home, tickets are limited in number.
