Homes do not need to be extensively remodeled. The tour aims to represent the diversity that exists in Minneapolis and Saint Paul and encourages all and any homeowners to apply. Nominations are due on or before Feb. 7, 2000. 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.
