Florence Celebrates the 40th Annual Home Tour – “From the Frontier with Love!”

Florence, Arizona – The Town of Florence invites residents and visitors to experience the 40th Annual Home Tour on Saturday, February 14, from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. This milestone event offers a rare, self-guided journey through some of Florence’s most iconic historic homes, churches, and civic landmarks, all preserved from the town’s frontier beginnings through the mid-20th century.

Now entering its fourth decade, the Home Tour remains one of Florence’s most beloved traditions, blending rare access, community storytelling, and living history.

“Florence’s Home Tour showcases more than architecture — it celebrates the families, stories, and craftsmanship that have shaped our community across generations,” said Mayor Keith Eaton. “For forty years, homeowners and partners have welcomed the public into these remarkable spaces. Their generosity allows us to preserve and share Florence’s legacy in ways that are both personal and engaging.”
