Historic Hyde Park Homes Tour

2024 Homes Tour
November 10, 2024 • 11am - 5pm

Bridging Eras

The 2024 Homes Tour will take place November 10, 2024 at a curated selection of notable homes across Hyde Park — Homes will be announced in coming weeks before the event and posted here.



Advance “early bird” $20 tickets will be available here starting October 1.

You can also purchase tickets beginning at 11am at the Elisabet Ney check-in for $25 (cash, check, credit, ACH).

An annual event since (sometime between) 1975 and 1977, residents of Hyde Park have opened up their historic homes to visitors. Organized by volunteers as a ticketed event for more than 50 years, it’s the Hyde Park Neighborhood Association’s largest annual fundraiser.

Each year’s Homes Tour features a list of 5-10 homes with historic significance to Austin and Hyde Park. Guests can tour the homes on their schedule over a Sunday afternoon in the fall.

KNOW BEFORE YOU GO: Attending the 2024 Homes Tour

Thanks for attending the 2024 Hyde Park Homes Tour, a benefit for the all-volunteer Hyde Park Neighborhood Association

Your ticket price goes directly and entirely to produce this event and others like it throughout the year; part of our ongoing commitment to building community across Hyde Park.

DETAILS FOR THOSE ATTENDING:

The event is Sunday, November 10th from 11am - 5pm. 

You MUST first check in anytime beginning at 11am at the Elisabet Ney Museum at 304 E. 44th Street. Please do not arrive at other homes to start; you will be redirected to the Ney. 

There, you'll receive a self-guided tour booket with home locations and extensive background information about each home edited by HPNA volunteers with assistance from the homeowners and other local historians. Each person touring must have a wristband you'll receive at check-in. 

  • You do NOT need to print your ticket or download the app; we'll have a list with everyone on it. It can accelerate check-in to have your confirmation email open, however. 

  • You can ignore the "Access Pass" app info at the bottom of your tickets/email. Our system automatically adds all that stuff at the bottom of this email — you don't need the app.

  • Expect to spend about two or three hours on the Tour, depending how you navigate between locations. Although there are no resident parking regulations in place, parking can be difficult during the busy tour. We strongly recommend walking between locations for those who are able. Do not park in or block local driveways; please respect our neighbors.

  • Please plan to finish your tour before 5pm; the homes will close at that time, without exception. Note that these are all private homes, so please respect the owners' privacy before 11am and after 5pm

  • You will be touring private homes, and we ask you to respect the spaces and the rules of each house, as outlined by our volunteer docents. These may include wearing booties (provided) inside, and/or taking your shoes off. Please treat the houses as you would want your own treated.

  • Note that bathrooms are not available at the homes. Please make plans, which might include use of public restrooms at Shipe Park.

  • To parents, from parents: this is not a great event for kids. Your kid may be the exception, but we speak from experience that it may not be great for them. Either way, please don’t let kids wander homes unaccompanied.
