Hosted in partnership by the Summit Hill Association and Ramsey Hill Association, the Historic Hills House Tour is a one-day architectural tour that grants tour-goers a rare inside look at some of the most historic homes and public spaces in St. Paul.
The next House Tour will take place on Sunday, October 11, 2026. It features a mix of grand Summit Avenue mansions, churches, historic family homes, duplexes and a new construction penthouse that reflect both the rich history and future of the neighborhood.
Over 2,000 attendees toured 15+ historic homes and other spaces on our last tour, offering a glimpse into life in one of the best-preserved historic neighborhoods in the nation.
About the Historic Hills House Tour
Tour with Purpose
The Historic Hills House Tour supports the work of the Summit Hill and Ramsey Hill Associations, 501(c)(3) non-profits dedicated to securing the neighborhood’s health and vitality for the long term.
The House Tour brings thousands of people to our neighborhood every year, benefiting local businesses and raising its profile. The proceeds of every ticket we sell are used to help deliver programming in Summit Hill, Ramsey Hill, and beyond. We’re working to revitalize Grand Avenue, our community’s main street; we’re collaborating with Parks & Rec to deliver an ambitious upgrade to Linwood Park, with new facilities and amenities including play spaces, sports facilities, and an amphitheater; and of course, we’re building a stronger community through regular events and programming throughout the year.
Attending the tour isn’t just a day out. It’s an investment in the future of our neighborhood.
