~ As the annual Historic Home Tour in Mesa approaches, excitement is building for the event that will not only showcase the city's rich history but also benefit the Mesa Historical Museum.

These homes, representing various architectural styles such as Craftsman Bungalow, Spanish Colonial Revival, Tudor Revival, Mission Revival, Pueblo Revival and Ranch, will give visitors a glimpse into the past and highlight the unique charm of each district.

The West Second Street Historic District holds a special significance as it is not only the oldest historic district in Mesa but also boasts a diverse range of architectural styles. This district has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1999 and is known for its architectural merits as well as its ties to some of Mesa's most prominent families from the early 20th century.

Similarly, the Evergreen Historic District has its own story to tell. Established in 1909, it was the first neighborhood in Mesa to include subdivisions beyond the original square mile. This district was also listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999 and is notable for its role in developing a cohesive community of middle and upper-class families from 1910 to 1948.

Tickets for this highly anticipated event are priced at $20 and can be purchased online or on the day of the tour from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. at the Aster Senior Center. The center also offers convenient parking for tour attendees. Those who purchase tickets online will need to check-in at Macdonald and Third Place (north of Aster Senior Center) to receive their wristbands, souvenir book, and map of tour locations. It is important to note that no one will be allowed inside the homes without a wristband.

Not only will visitors get to experience the beauty and history of these homes, but all proceeds from ticket sales will go towards supporting the Mesa Historical Museum. So mark your calendars for this must-see event and join in on preserving Mesa's rich heritage.
