Architecture, Culture, Stewardship, and History at Every Site

Preservation Austin debuted our Homes Tour in 1993 in honor of our nonprofit's 40th birthday.

This event showcases our community's diverse heritage and incredible neighborhoods every spring. The 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.
