Have you ever said to yourself, “Gee, I wish I could get a guided tour through some of the antique homes in Edgewater”?

The Edgewater Historical Society has been offering at least one Home Tour every year since 1989. (Except the years interrupted by Covid) On Sunday, September 24, 2023 (rain or shine), we will be featuring the Magnolia Glen neighborhood and, for $25 per person, you will receive a guided tour through several of its historic homes. You will also receive a souvenir Tour Booklet containing a map of the neighborhood and descriptions of each home on the Tour.

At each home, a volunteer docent will greet you and tell you something about the exterior of the house. You will then be escorted with others in a group to tour the inside of the house, where another volunteer docent will highlight some of the features of the interior.

Reservations are not required. Register at 1268 West Early Avenue between Noon and 4:00 p.m. and receive your Tour Booklet and map. The homes are on Magnolia, Victoria and Early, and will be open from Noon until 5:00 p.m.

To visit all featured homes involves walking approximately one mile (starting at the registration table), using the map in the Tour Guide as reference.

To whet your appetite, here are small photos of some of the homes expected to be on the tour (the list is subject to change without notice).
