Springfield Preservation and Revitalization Council (SPAR) has announced the 45th Historic Springfield Tour of Homes and Gardens taking place April 27-28, 2024 from noon to 5 PM each day in Jacksonville’s oldest neighborhood and front porch community, the Springfield Historic District.

The Tour of Homes and Gardens, presented by M&M Homes, brings over 1000 visitors to Springfield each year to explore the neighborhood and the architecturally significant historic homes that give Springfield its unique character.

During the two-day event, guests will find six properties to tour throughout the Springfield Historic District featuring a combination of preserved historic homes, new homes constructed in the historic style, and backyard garden spaces with live music, refreshments, and art collections from a professional artist. Guests may check-in for the tour starting at the SPAR Building (1321 N Main Street) at 12 PM both days. Complimentary shuttle service is provided for all guests. Local history expert Leigh Burdett will lead a complimentary guided bike tour of the featured homes. The guided bike tour departs from the SPAR Building at 1 PM on Saturday April 27.

Tickets are $15 if purchased in advance and $20 if purchased the day of the tour. Guests receive a tour map and guide at check-in at the SPAR Building (1321 N Main Street). Guests with a tour map are eligible for a variety of promotions and discounts at local businesses. Guests may choose to walk, bike, drive, or use our complimentary shuttle service.
