The annual Holiday Homes Tour returns on Saturday.

Guests will tour six historic homes and buildings in downtown Gainesville decorated for the holidays, ranging from 1867 to the 1930s.

Mainstreet does not have a paywall, but pavement-pounding journalism is not free. Join your neighbors who make this vital work possible.

The total tour length will be 90 minutes. 

A new group will depart every 15 minutes from the Matheson History Museum and return to the museum at the end of the tour.  

Tickets are $15 and can be purchased on Simple Tix

The proceeds will benefit the Matheson History Museum. Guests will enjoy their holiday adventure in small groups led by guides.

Refreshments will be provided at the Matheson.
