Two tours offered: morning and afternoon. This year marks the 175th anniversary of Winchester, Massachusetts--a charming and vibrant town just north of Boston. Join us as we celebrate the people and places that kicked off its first 50 years on our historic homes tour! When a village center began to rapidly evolve here in the 1840s, the identity of the area did as well. In 1850, it officially became its own town. The second half of the 19th century showed no signs of stopping, the population continued to grow in great stride and the landscape had increasing numbers of new homes--from modest to mansion--built in the variety of styles popular in the Victorian era: Queen Anne, Mansard, Italiante, and Colonial Revival styles to name a few. This unique, one-time-only tour will take you inside several of these homes built during Winchester's fabulous first 50 years. Presented with the support of Winchester Historical Society and as part of Winchester Chamber of Commerce's annual Spirit Weekend!
