2025 Home Tour: The Golden Anniversary

Preservation Durham’s annual home tour is an important part of our mission and annual fundraising to preserve and protect Durham’s culturally diverse history, heritage and historic assets through education, advocacy and action. The tour offers glimpses into homes that have been lovingly maintained, rehabilitated, and adapted to life. This year we are highlighting numerous houses varying in architectural styles and date built, as we celebrate the histories of a few of the houses that make up our plaque program! Join us as we venture through the histories of some of the homes featured within our plaque program.
