Historic House Tour – 2026

9/20/26 update: Thank you to all who braved the elements to attend the Historic House Tour. What an amazing turnout! The Evansville Grove Society is honored to have been able to put on this event for our community. We were pleasantly surprised by just how far and wide our community of history lovers extends! So many of our Evansville citizens showed up, and we had people from cities and even states away that came to see our beautiful town and amazing homes!

Thank you so much to the home owners who opened their homes, our volunteers who made the event possible, and to those who came to tour the homes.

The Evansville Grove Society will sponsor a Historic House Tour on Saturday, September 19th , from 1 PM to 5 PM in Evansville’s historic district. Five landmark homes will be included on the tour, all of them within walking distance of each other. Read the article featured in the Evansville Examiner.

Admission for the event will be $20 in advance or $25 on the day of the event, when the Grove Society will have a tent on First Street between Evans Hall (104 W. Main St.) and the Tower House (44 W. Main St.). Children 12 and under will be admitted free.

Tickets may be purchased online. Tickets will also be on sale at the Society’s museum in the Historic Baker Building, 15 Antes Drive in Leonard-Leota Park, Saturdays between 1 and 4PM, or through the Evansville Chamber of Commerce during regular business hours.
