Wenatchee, Wash. – (Friday, May 2, 2025), The Wenatchee Valley Museum & Cultural Center is once again collaborating with the City of Wenatchee Historic Preservation Board in hosting the Historic Homes Tour, a self-guided tour through Wenatchee’s historic landmarks on Saturday, May 31, from 10 AM to 4 PM.
The Historic Homes Tour provides a rare opportunity to explore private historic properties that are generally not open to the public. Volunteer docents will be on hand to share their historical research with tour visitors. Throughout the tour, we will be highlighting homes and properties listed on the Wenatchee Register of Historic Places and homes of historical significance, such as the Wetherald Home, the Vradenburg Apartments, and the Home of Peace Mausoleum.
This tour is an opportunity for the public to become more familiar with the value of historic preservation and to foster an appreciation for the aesthetic character and heritage of the Wenatchee Valley.
