Preservation Austin is proud to present our 2026 Homes Tour showcasing Austin’s remarkable heritage. This year’s homes embody diverse architectural eras and cultural histories, including two neighborhoods never before featured on the tour, and our first home from the 1970s! Ours is the only tour of its kind to connect Austinites to historic spaces and stunning design in such powerful and personal ways.
This citywide tour features ten historic homes, with five open on Saturday, April 18 and five open on Sunday, April 19. Tour hours are 10 AM - 5 PM each day.
The annual Homes Tour is Preservation Austin’s marquee event and most important fundraiser. All proceeds, including ticket sales and sponsorships, support our advocacy efforts and educational programming year-round.

About the Homes Tour
