This is a guided tour with transportation provided from home to home. The all-volunteer docents will explain the history and the fascinating stories behind each venue. There are plenty of steps and winding paths so the tour will not be handicapped accessible.

This year’s tour includes two homes that have been renovated in part by Tim McClellan for the new TV Show Boomtown Builders. This Jerome furniture designer and renovator has been featured on Ellen’s Design Challenge and has just updated The Baker’s House guest suite and 747 East Avenue, once Arizona’s longest running B&B and now owned by New York transplants who are putting their own touch on this charming cottage.

For the first time in many years, there are 4 homes that are close enough for guests to walk from place to place. Wear your comfortable shoes and get ready for some spectacular views from the porch of The Anderson House, an antique filled home lovingly renovated by a Glendale family and The Haven United Methodist Church. This church has been active since 1900. An outdoor sculpture by artist Bernie Molaskey has been installed and is sure to be a photo opportunity this year. ‘The Miners Cross’ is constructed of rusty nails and is a monumental piece of art.

A total of 5 homes and one public building will be on this year’s lineup. Plan to spend the entire day in Jerome. The tour will take 2 to 3 hours although you can go at your own pace and spend as much time at each venue as you wish. There will be water at each stop and refreshments at Haven United Methodist Church and Spook Hall.

After the tour, visit the unique shops of Jerome. Sample the excellent restaurants and perhaps even spend the night. Lovely accommodations fill up quickly on this popular weekend.
