One of the

great rites of spring is set for later this month when

the Senoia Area Historical Society hosts its annual

Progressive Dinner.

The dinner

is set for April 28 and 29 at 7 p.m. and tickets run $35

for the five-course meal. The dinner features courses at

five different homes in Senoia's historic district.

Appetizers

for this year's meal are served at a church built in

1894, currently owned by John and Priscilla Meiller.

The

Meillers are currently restoring the church to its

original roots and plan to use it as a theater, wedding

chapel or church.

The

traveling meal next moves to the 1850 home of Jack and

Julie Humphrey for soup. This home had several rooms

added around 1920 and the home was featured in the TV

movie "Christmas Memories."

The next

course is salad at the Greek revival home of Perry Benson

and Charles Hunnicutt.

"I saw

this home for the first time about nine months ago. I

knew it was going to be home," said Benson.

The home is

furnished with an eclectic collection of European and

period American furniture.

As has

become the tradition, this year's main course is at the

neo-classical home of Tom McKeehan. McKeehan was an

antiques dealer for years and his home is furnished with

his collection of Far East antiques and art, along with

an unusual mix of 20th century treasures.

The final

course is dessert at the home of Doug and Cindy Watson.

The home was built in 1861 and the owners have preserved

many of the details, including the wrap-around front

porch.
