Experience historic Marietta through a tour of eleven homes in the first established settlement of the Northwest Territory. Whether you are a collector, architect, historian, photographer, or just love old homes, this tour includes a location to pique your interests! Homes on Saturday will be different from homes on Sunday. Six homes, including The Castle Museum, will be featured on Saturday, with five different homes on Sunday’s tour.
Tickets
With the purchase of your ticket, you may visit as many or as few of the stops as you wish. Many of the homes featured are within walking distance of each other, although you may drive to locations if preferred.
Tickets are also available in person at The Castle’s Carriage House Gift Shop (418 4th St.) during operating hours.
Please note: Tickets will not be available for purchase at individual tour homes.
Starting Your Tour
After purchasing your tickets, please either print them or save a digital copy to your mobile device.
You may begin your tour at any participating location listed for that day—there is no required starting point.
Tour homes are open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day. You’re free to visit any home on that day’s schedule at your own pace.
Look for Tour of Homes yard signs at each location to help identify participating homes.
When you arrive at your first home, present your ticket to the greeter. They will exchange it for a Tour Pass, which grants access to all homes and must be kept with you throughout the day.
You’ll also receive a Tour of Homes booklet, which includes a map and historical information about each location.
