For 52 years, some of Oklahoma City’s most historic homes have been featured during the annual Heritage Hills Historic Home Tour. This year’s tour offers the opportunity for guests to view five of Oklahoma City’s most beautiful historic residences not usually open to the public.
Heritage Hills Historic Preservation District is the oldest preservation district in the city, and as a neighborhood, has been listed in the National Register of Historic Places since 1969.
The houses that comprise Heritage Hills range from 20,000-square-foot mansions to picture-postcard bungalows. Most were built before 1930. This year’s magnificent homes are between NW 14 and NW 20 just north of downtown Oklahoma City.
Tickets will be available on tour days at the Tour Central table on the Overholser lawn and at all home locations for $20. Advance tickets as well as group (10 or more) discounted tickets will be $15. Tickets will be sold at select Oklahoma City retail locations and on the Heritage Hills website at www.heritagehills.org.
