The 39th Annual Home Tour takes place Saturday in Floreence and this year’s theme is “Florence! Where History Shapes the Present.”
The tour runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. throughout historic Florence. Attendees can stroll through downtown and grab a shuttle to visit outlying stops on the tour.
This signature event opens the doors to 16 of Florence’s most iconic and historic homes and buildings, offering visitors a chance to explore the stories and architecture that define the community, according to a town press release.
This year’s spotlight is on the George A. Brown House, 125 W. Ruggles St., a historic adobe structure built in 1875 that once served as a Wells Fargo office during a rash of stagecoach robberies. Its original owner, George A. “By God” Brown, was a saloonkeeper, Wells Fargo agent and one of Florence’s most colorful figures.
Over the years, the house has undergone various adaptations to preserve its adobe walls and accommodate changing needs, making it a fascinating stop on this year’s tour.
Other homes and buildings on the 2025 tour include:
The event will also include performances from the Los Pequeños Ballet Folklorico dance troupe, 3 to 3:10 p.m., and acoustic country folk music, 12:15–12:45 p.m., at Jaques Square, 291 N. Main St. The Old-Time Brass Band begins performing at 1 p.m. at the Windmill Winery, 1140 W. Butte Ave.
Tickets are $25 on event day. People 17 and under can attend for free.
Free parking will be available at the Hi-Profile Parking Lot, 231 N. Quartz St.; the Dorothy Nolan Senior Center, 330 N. Pinal St.; and Downtown Main Street and surrounding side streets.
