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.
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.
