50th Annual Historic Home Tour
Step inside Sacramento history at Preservation Sacramento’s 50th Annual Historic Home Tour on Sunday, September 20, 2026.
This year’s milestone tour takes visitors into six historic properties in the Old & New Washington School Historic Districts, one of Sacramento’s oldest residential neighborhoods. Centered in the heart of the city, the tour offers a rare look at noteworthy architecture, neighborhood history, and the people and movements that helped shape Sacramento.
A special focus for 2026 is the neighborhood’s connection to the Royal Chicano Air Force, the internationally recognized Sacramento collective of artists and activists that emerged in the late 1960s.
The compact tour area between D, G, 14th and 19th Streets makes this an especially fun event to explore on foot or by bicycle.
Start your day at the Street Fair at Washington Elementary School, 1631 F Street, where you can pick up your wristband, tour brochure and day-of tickets if still available. Complimentary monitored bicycle parking will also be available.
And your ticket does more than open historic doors. Proceeds from the Historic Home Tour help Preservation Sacramento document, nominate and protect Sacramento’s culturally and architecturally significant places.
Come for the beautiful homes. Leave with a deeper appreciation for the stories, neighborhoods and people that made Sacramento what it is today. Get your tickets today.
