A Celebration of Madison's Architectural Heritage
SUNDAY, JUNE 25 / 11 AM to 4 PM
Nantucket style beach house, 2018 Tour of Remarkable Homes
What makes a home remarkable? Visitors to the Tour of Remarkable Homes will discover the answer to this question on Sunday, June 25. To the delight of home tour enthusiasts, the Society’s largest fundraising event will return after three years of COVID cancellations.
The Tour of Remarkable Homes provides the rare opportunity for guests to explore some of the town's most unique private residences. Each home is remarkable for its age, size, location, or distinctive architecture and landscaping.
Add a Boxed Lunch to your Tour Experience
New this year, we are offering a box lunch specially prepared by the Madison Cheese Shop. You can select a turkey and brie sandwich with a raspberry peach champagne jam served on a baguette or a vegetarian sandwich of roasted vegetables and goat cheese drizzled with basil pesto also served on a baguette. Included in the meal are chips, a gourmet cookie, and bottled water. Visitors are invited to enjoy their lunch in the newly restored Madison Center for History and Culture located on the lower level of Lee's Academy. If weather permits, outdoor options will be offered in the tour program booklet.
The proceeds from this event enable us to continue to preserve and protect our historic properties, care for our collection of treasures from Madison's rich past, and develop new and engaging educational programming.
The homes can be visited in any order and at your own pace. Please follow the parking instructions in your program book to ensure the safety and security of all involved. Guides are stationed at each location to provide background information about each home and its interesting design features. The Tour Program Book serves as your admission to each property and offers useful information, including the tour map. Visit our Flickr page to see exterior images of the homes featured on earlier tours.
