Historic tour of The Edgewater
The historic tour of The Edgewater is an add-on to your ticket. Thanks for supporting our events!
The Edgewater Historic Tour offers a look into the property's history, covering its origins, its owners, and the impact of its original General Manager, Augie Faulkner. The tour highlights architectural features and the preservation work done to maintain the original Edgewater’s façade during the 2012-2014 expansion. It concludes with Scott Faulkner, longtime GM and son of Augie Faulkner, sharing stories about the many notable guests who have stayed over the years. Complimentary soda, water, and mini-Old Fashioneds are provided. This tour explains why The Edgewater is known as “Madison’s Place”.
Award recipients will be announced in late March
