After taking a hiatus in 2025, the Lake Morton Neighborhood Association’s Historic Home & Garden Tour is back for its 21st year. Buy tickets now to join this walking tour on Saturday, March 28 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Check in at the Frank Lloyd Wright Sharp Family Tourism and Education Center at Florida Southern College. Then, start your self-guided tour through 11 homes, gardens, and commercial buildings.

Set aside about two hours to visit all the homes and ask the owners questions about their architecture + history. You’ll do quite a bit of walking, but shuttle buses will stop at a few spots along the way.

Pro tip: Tickets are limited, so grab yours in advance. To register in person, arrive early at 10:30 a.m. to snag a ticket before they likely sell out.
