37th Annual Historic Florence Home Tour "Gem On The Gila"

The history, culture, and essence of a community are revealed in many ways. Books, journals, and other documents provide immediate, written information about a town. However, a deeper and stronger appreciation of a community's history is revealed in its homes and buildings.

Archaeologists examine past societies and cultures through a variety of methods including architectural studies. These professionals know that older homes and buildings speak volumes about the lives of their earlier inhabitants.

Visitors to the 37th Annual Historic Florence Home Tour on Saturday, February 11, 2023, from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. will view diverse architectural styles of homes and buildings. Visitors may walk the tour route, which begins in downtown Florence. Transportation is provided to outlying historical structures on the tour.

All visitors are welcome on February 11th to celebrate Florence's rich territorial history.
Tickets are only $20 for adults on the day of the event or $15 in advance. Kids 17 and under are free.

For questions or more information, please contact Erasmo Mendivil Jr. at the Florence Community Services Department at (520) 868-7040.
