How a House Tour works: This is a self-guided tour. The ticket holder receives the House Tour Booklet at the Old Academy, 16 Vernon St, which acts as your ticket, and it lists the homes on the tour with historical descriptions. Once the ticket holder has the booklet, he/she is free to visit the homes at their own pace between 12 and 5pm. Ticket holders must use their own mode of transportation to reach the designated homes. Parking instructions will be included in each home description – read carefully! Restrooms will be available at the refreshment stop, which will be highlighted in the booklet as well.
