Home Tour Etiquette

To ensure an enjoyable and safe experience for all, please follow these guidelines:

• Admission is by ticket only, no exceptions.

• Children under the age of 7 are not permitted inside homes – with the exception of infants carried in “front packs.”

• No high-heeled shoes! Comfortable walking shoes are recommended.

• Booties are provided and must be worn over shoes (not over socks or bare feet - no exceptions).

• No opening of drawers, cabinets, or closets.

• No handling of any household furnishings.

• No smoking, eating, or drinking while on private property.

• No photography or video cameras allowed inside homes.

• No pets.

• Do not use the restrooms in tour homes (restrooms are available in the Irvington Club).

What to Expect

The special morning event begins at 9:00 am. Details as to location to be provided. The six tour houses are open 11:00 to 5:00.

You will be given a printed program which serves as your map and entrance ticket to each home. Typically, the homes are located within relatively close proximity, so we encourage tour-goers to walk rather than drive, and enjoy the beautiful heritage trees and other historic homes along the way. Allocate at least 3 hours for touring all six houses.

The tour is self-guided and you may visit the homes in any order. Each home is staffed with volunteer docents who are knowledgeable about the home’s history and features, and will be happy to answer your questions.

These are century-old homes with many stairs, some of which may be steep and narrow! Please wear comfortable shoes (no pointed heels) and hold hand railings. When visiting the gardens, please stay on paths.

Lunch, snack, and drink options include two food trucks, a coffee cart, and the Hancock Street Preschool bake sale, all located at the Irvington Club, as well as the many restaurants along NE Broadway.
