​Back Door Kitchen Tour 2025
​
ROW is pleased to present the 2025 Back Door Kitchen Tour on Saturday, October 11th from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., rain or shine.
This year’s tour features eight stunning homes in the Historic District, where homeowners graciously open what’s called the heart of the home--the kitchen--as well as the first floor. Please note that Historic homes are typically not ADA-accessible.
For more information about the tour, to view pictures of the featured homes, and purchase tickets, visit Eventbrite (https://backdoorkitchentour2025.eventbrite.com). Tickets are $40 per person and can be purchased in advance. If you'd prefer to purchase your ticket the day of the tour, you can do so at 410 Orange Street from 9:30am-2pm.
Thank you to our 2025 Back Door Kitchen Tour Sponsors!
