Springfield Preservation and Revitalization Council (SPAR) announces the 44th Historic Springfield Tour of Homes and Gardens taking place on May 13 and 14, 2023 from noon to 5 pm in Jacksonville’s oldest neighborhood. This annual fundraiser for SPAR is joined by The Akers Group with Coldwell Banker Vanguard Realty, who will be the presenting sponsors for the tour which brings over 1,000 visitors into the community.

During the two-day event, attendees will find six properties to tour: a combination of interior spaces decorated with a mix of modern and vintage styling as well as backyard gardens. The tour check-in venue will be at the SPAR Building, located at 1321 North Main Street, starting at noon both days.

Early bird pricing will be $15 with $20 tickets purchased on the day of tour. A tour map and guide will be provided to all guests at 1321 North Main Street when guests check in at the SPAR Building. Many will walk or bike the tour route, but some may wish to drive. There will also be shuttles with pick-up and drop-off at designated spots during the tour.
