Historic Homes of Tacoma Tour

For 25 years, the Historic Homes Tour has welcomed thousands of community members and visitors into some of the most significant and grand houses and structures in the city of Tacoma. Over two days, visitors will have the opportunity to go inside seven historic structures in north Tacoma. The tour offers a rare chance to visit otherwise private historic residences, where you will see architectural details, design features, and clues about how Tacomans lived in years past. This close-up encounter with Tacoma’s historic houses will give you a unique view of the city, as you learn about the history behind the houses’ architecture and the personal stories behind their doors.
