2018 Woodland Heights Home Tour
Fresh Traditions - plus 3 bonus - “Teardown Turnarounds”
Woodland Heights will once again welcome visitors into some of its most charming historic homes during its “Fresh Traditions” biannual home tour March 24-25, from noon to 6 p.m. This year, tour goers can view a total of eight original homes ranging in size and style. The expanded list showcases three “teardown turnaround” homes once considered unsalvageable. Saved from the wrecking ball, these houses are testament to how a homeowner’s vision and commitment, combined with creative architects and experienced contractors, can rescue even the most neglected house and turn it into a showplace.








Get a sneak peek! The annual preview party is set for Friday, March 23. Partygoers can skip the lines and enjoy wine and cheese at the featured homes from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. followed by the party at Janeen Cook’s original William Wilson home, 530 Byrne, from 7 to 10:30 p.m. Tickets are $100 and include homes (entry good all weekend) and party featuring libations, heavy hors d’oeuvres, music, dancing and more. Stay tuned for more exciting details!
Home Tour Preview: New this year is a Friday night preview home tour-only ticket for $50. This allows you to tour and enjoy wine and cheese at each of the eight homes, but doesn’t include the party. Great for busy schedules!
Note that while homeowners may be present at some of the homes, the Friday night preview is designed for viewing at your own pace without docents on hand to share insights as you go.
Tickets $25 in advance, $30 starting March 23. Purchase online or at a variety of local area merchants starting March 1.
