2012 Willo Historic Home Tour

February 9, 2012 by Nick Bastian Leave a Comment

Everyone LOVES the Willo Historic District. Yes, everyone. The annual Willo Historic District Home Tour attracts thousands of people each year because of this love affair with cool homes in this awesome downtown Phoenix location.

The self guided tour of Willo allows people to peak inside of some really great homes while walking the tree lined streets or by taking one of the shuttle busses around the neighborhood.

This year’s Willo tour will showcase 13 homes and the historic firehouse at 13th and Jewel. In addition to touring the homes, there is a LOT of excitement around the Willo street fair that will have food, artisans, music and more. It’s a great way to spend a Sunday.

2012 Willo Home Tour:

Date: Sunday, February 12th, 2012

Time: Tour open 10am-4pm ( pick up will call tickets starting at 9am)

The video below from the city of Phoenix gives a great overview of what to expect at the Willo home tour.

As we mentioned above and as it says in the video, the light rail is a great way to get to and from the Willo Home Tour. Below is a map of the area. If you are first time riders or are not familiar with riding the trains, please keep these things in mind.

Proceeds from the Willo Historic Home Tour benefit the neighborhood, the park and the overall community. This is an awesome volunteer effort that ultimately benefits Willo and the surrounding areas. At Rail Life, we highly suggest that you take time on Sunday to see these cool homes and experience the area.
