Junius Heights Historic District will host the 15th Annual Historic Home Tour and Arts & Crafts Fair on Saturday, November 4, 2023, from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. The tour starts at Munger Park, where you will buy tickets for $30 or pick up your official Home Tour Guide at the ticket table in front of Garden Cafe. Current and new Junius Heights Historic District members will receive an additional $5 discount on tickets.

This year’s tour will boast seven historic homes and includes a “Living History Tour” at the famous Aldredge House at 1:15 p.m. and 2:15 p.m. We are celebrating the Age of the Automobile in this year’s tour and will feature various classic cars at each tour location. The former home of Jesse Illingsworth, who drove the first automobile in Dallas in 1898, will be on the tour.

New to this year’s tour – since Junius Heights IS the largest historic district in Dallas – we are offering complimentary golf cart shuttles between the Junius Heights tour homes and the Arts & Crafts Fair for your convenience.

We’d be remiss not to mention a few tour teasers. One tour home that is featured in this year’s tour was also featured in last year’s Restoration Tour and is now fully restored. Will you recognize it? Another tour home was recently on the AIA tour. One tour homeowner recently won the coveted State Fair of Texas Blue Ribbon for the quilt she lovingly made that depicts each of the neighboring homes on their street. Don’t miss seeing this amazing piece of artwork that will be on display in their home!

Enjoy a full day of live music and performances by local groups and schools and peruse amazing goods from local artisans and vendors at the Arts & Crafts Fair at Munger Park. Please join us for a full day of festivities!
