(Seguin) – Seguin is again giving residents and visitors a rare chance to step inside some of the community’s most historic homes and properties.
The Seguin Conservation Society this Saturday will be hosting its 32nd Annual Holiday Heritage Tour of Homes.
Marty Keil. of the Seguin Conservation Society, says this year’s event features a unique lineup of historic homes and decorated spaces.
“On this tour, we have eight. We always include the First Church down at the Heritage Village. That’s where you can stop by for refreshments. Besides that, we have seven other sites. We have three homes where people are living and then we have the Weinert House, the Abbott House, the Texas Theatre and the Sebastopol,” said Keil.
She says during the tour, individuals will have an opportunity to wander through each of these homes and visit with property owners. She says it’s been a creative way to also learn more about Seguin’s history.
“The idea of the event was to let people see some of the history of Seguin through the homes that we have had here for some many years – some of those that were built back in the 1800s. Then we come up to the craftsman bungalows. We’ve even had some very contemporary houses on the tour, but people just love to get a glimpse into Seguin’s history and the best way to see that is really through the structures and architectural features that have been built into some of these houses,” said Keil.
The Holiday Heritage Tour of Homes will be held on Saturday from 1 to 5 p.m.
Advance tickets are available now for $20, or $25 at the door. Presale tickets can be purchased at Gift and Gourmet, the Seguin Area Chamber of Commerce, and Keepers Interiors.
Payment with Venmo will be accepted at all locations on the day of the tour. Individuals may start the tour at any property but are encouraged to end at the First Church located 213 E. Live Oak St. for refreshments.
