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 its earlier inhabitants.

Visitors to the 36th Annual Historic Florence Home Tour on Saturday, February 12, 2022, from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. will view diverse architectural styles in over 20 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 12th to celebrate Florence’s rich territorial history.

Tickets are only $20 for adults the day of the event or $15 in advance. Advance tickets are available anytime, at the Pinal County Historical Society and Museum, Greater Florence Chamber of Commerce, Florence Visitor’s Center and the new Florence Library and Community Center or online at www.brownpapertickets.com.
