The Home Tour is a free self-guided event. The Home Tour Guide , which includes a description of each home and a map showing home locations, is published and distributed before the tour. Visitors can choose as many or as few homes to tour. Each home is identified with a Home Tour street sign. In most cases, homeowners greet visitors.
All rooms are open in most homes.
Homeowners have found the tour to be an enjoyable and worthwhile experience. Many have met current neighbors or past owners through the tour. Also owners enjoy promoting their neighborhood and sharing their remodeling, redecorating or home buying secrets. Each homeowner is assigned a home coordinator to make sure that all aspects of the tour go smoothly. During the weekend tour, friends, neighbors or volunteers answer questions, register visitors and staff homes.
