74th Annual Tour of Homes March 26-29, 2009
For more than 70 years, Savannahians have opened their doors to share the beauty of their homes and gardens in a unique non-profit fundraising event for community outreach and preservation programs.
During each day of the tour, a different neighborhood is featured. Guests may visit approximately six sites which include both private homes and/or gardens during a 3-hour period. Tours are self-guided -- you may visit the tour sites in any order and at your own pace. Tour volunteers will assist you. The homes vary in age, size and style some with high-stooped entries and 8-12 steps to climb. Homes and gardens are NOT handicapped accessible. Please wear appropriate walking shoes for your own comfort and safety as well as to protect the floors in the homes. In addition to home and garden tours, a wide range of special events are available each day of the tour. These special events often sell-out early!
A printable brochure of our upcoming tour will be available on our website in mid-November. Tickets sales will begin December 1, 2008. For more information about the tour, please visit our General Information page and Frequently Asked Questions page to find answers to common questions. |
