The original item was published from July 2, 2024 2:06 PM to July 1, 2025 12:05 AM

"HistoryThe Geneva History Museum presents a Historic House Tour from noon to 4 p.m. Sunday, July 21. This is a chance to explore four homes in downtown Geneva and to learn the stories of who built them and lived in them.

Enjoy this rare opportunity to walk through the homes and view their unique character. The four homes on the tour include an 1850s simple limestone house at 301 S. First St., a unique pre-Civil War structure that served as a piano store and later a school at 328 S. Sixth St., a mid-century modern home where the first Apple computer games were created at 521 Hamilton St., and one of the first homes remodeled by the locally famed Wilson Brothers contractors at 418 Ford St.

Tours are self-guided and the homes may be visited in any order. The Geneva History Museum will be open from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. July 21, and admission is included in the ticket price, as well as a swag bag of offers from museum partners.

Tickets are $35/person, $30/museum member, and $45/person after Monday, July 15. All proceeds benefit the Geneva History Museum, a nonprofit organization with a mission to share and preserve the evolving Geneva story while engaging and inspiring the community.
