Ever wandered through Key West and wondered what lies behind the doors of its beautiful historic homes? The Old Island Restoration Foundation’s Key West Home Tours offer a rare opportunity to step inside and discover the architecture, history, and character that make the island so distinctive.
Returning for their 67th year, the Home Tours have welcomed visitors into some of Key West’s most intriguing private residences for more than six decades. Held on select dates from December through March, these self-paced tours invite guests to explore Old Town at their leisure, with knowledgeable docents stationed at each property to share its history, architecture, and unique story.
Each tour features five private homes, and a different collection is showcased each month. Visit them in any order and at your own pace — or return for another tour weekend to discover an entirely new group of properties.
Along the way, step inside an eclectic mix of architectural treasures that reflect Key West’s colorful past and creative present. From transformed cigar-makers’ cottages and homes influenced by the island’s shipbuilding heritage to reimagined Victorian residences and spaces filled with fascinating art collections, no two stops are quite alike.
The tours are also an important fundraiser for the Old Island Restoration Foundation, with proceeds supporting its mission to preserve and celebrate Key West’s architecture, culture, and heritage for future generations.
Whether you’re passionate about architecture and history, searching for design inspiration, or simply curious about what’s behind those captivating Key West doors, the Home Tours provide an intimate look at a side of the island few visitors get to experience.
Come peek behind the doors, explore Key West’s remarkable heritage, and spend an afternoon discovering the stories that make Old Town one of a kind. Tickets and information are available at OIRF.org.
