Since 1997, The Twig has hosted the Homes Tour offering a self-guided walking tour of beautiful homes and gardens in Old Town Alexandria.  The Tour, which began in 1941, was originally hosted by the Hospital’s Senior Auxiliary to raise money for the Hospital.  Home highlights often include original and preserved structures, curated artwork, and historical collections.  The tour also offers guests an opportunity to enjoy Virginia’s lovely autumn weather and the sites of Old Town as they walk from home to home.  The 2025 Homes Tour will be held on Sept. 27th! 

This annual event showcases Alexandria’s rich history and raises funds to support the Inova Alexandria Hospital.

There are a number of different ticket levels available that may be purchased below.  If you decide to purchase at a level that includes more than one ticket, you will receive one e-ticket via email upon purchase and the additional ticket(s) separately once we process your order.

On the day of the tour, you may check in for the tour and receive a wrist band and your tour book at one of two locations in Old Town Alexandria: The Twig Thrift Shop at 106 N. Columbus Street or Boxwood at 1205 King Street.

Don’t delay!  The tour has sold out in recent years.
