Tour of Homes

September 21, 2024 @ 10:00 am – 4:00 pm

Don’t miss the 35th Tour of Homes. This beloved event is returning for the first time since 2018 and will feature seven historic homes in Wauwatosa’s Olde Hillcrest neighborhood. Homeowners will open the doors of their historic homes for tour goers to explore the unique characteristics each house has to offer.

Each one of the seven historic homes on tour will have multiple docents on site sharing the histories and stories of the past. The first floor of the Kneeland-Walker House will also be open, featuring an exhibit and gift shop. The gardens and grounds of the property will also be open for ticket holders to explore.
