New this year! Historic Walking Tour
SOLD OUT This is an add-on to the regular Home & Garden Tour tickets. Join us for a 1 hour walking tour in the heart of West Central as your guide talks about the history of the area and points out significant architecture and points of interest. If you’ve never explored our neighborhood before, this is a wonderful introduction! Tickets for the walking tour are $15 per person. The tour will cover 5 blocks and is limited to 20 participants per group. You can choose from two time slots: 3pm Saturday or 3pm Sunday. This walking tour does not include admission to the Home & Garden Tour.
A special thanks to our key sponsors for 2024:
Our number one goal is the historic preservation of these beautiful homes and the historic character they possess. Because of that, we have a few rules on the types of buildings we will and won’t feature during our event. Only one property per owner entity can be included as a tour stop in any given year. Properties that have improvements that did not seek or follow HPC guidelines will not be eligible for Tour stops. The WCNA Tour Committee and/or Board of Directors will be the final arbiter of these rules, and may reject a stop for any reason.
