Tour of homes

march 8 & 9, 2024

Hosted annually by the SDCHPS, the Tour of Homes began in 1976 as a way to share the city’s variety of architectural styles and rich history.

Selma’s four designated historic districts comprise the largest contiguous historic district in the state of Alabama. Together, the historic districts feature more than 1200 historic homes, churches, and other unique structures.

Today, the Tour of Homes features historic buildings across Selma and Dallas County. The tour includes a Friday evening welcome reception with heavy hors d’oeuvres and beverages, followed by a special presentation on a topic of Selma-Dallas County history. The tour begins Saturday at 10 a.m. and ends at 4 p.m., and package tickets allow visitors entry into all houses, museums, churches, and other historic sites featured on the tour, as well as the Saturday evening Cemetery Tour in Old Live Oak Cemetery. 

Tickets can be purchased on Eventbrite – see below for more details.
