Description
Join the Douglas County Historical Society on Saturday, July 19, 2025 (12-5 p.m.) for the 2025 Alexandria Historic House Tour!
This self-guided tour through some of Alexandria’s most historic properties will invite guests to visit local residences and businesses to learn about the rich history of the city and its residents, and display some of the ways we’re keeping local history alive.

Tour stops can be visited in any order and beginning with any location—the tour is entirely self-guided and transported, whether you’re driving, walking, or cycling your route around town! Guides at each location will greet you to to share information about the property and how it plays a role in Alexandria’s rich history.
