Noblesville’s Historic Home Tour set for Sept. 18

After a one-year absence because of the COVID-19 pandemic, Noblesville’s 34th annual Historic Home Tour will return this fall.

The tour, set for 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sept. 18, is the primary fundraiser for the Noblesville Preservation Alliance. There are eight homes on the tour, with the focus on the northwest quadrant of Noblesville’s historic district. Nancy Hebel, who co-chairs the tour with fellow Noblesville resident Sandy Stewart, said four homes have never been on the tour and only one of the other four has been featured within the last 20 years.

In addition, the Hamilton County Historical Society Old Sheriff’s Residence and Jail on the square and Preservation Hall, 1274 Logan St., will be open for guests.

“We are going to highlight Preservation Hall and the restoration work being done on our building by holding all special events there,” Hebel said the NPA’s home building. “There will be a variety of local musicians, artists and authors throughout the day. We’ll also be selling lunches and drinks so people can rest and enjoy.”

Hebel said each year the NPA tries to include a business or church on the tour.

This year, the tour will highlight Rowland Printing, 199 N. 9th St. It was Noblesville’s train station in the early 1900s.

“The money raised is used for homeowner facade grants, for preservation education and for community projects,” Hebel said. “Right now, we are dedicating finances, and lots of volunteer hours, to the restoration of Preservation Hall. While the purpose of the home tour is financial, it is also a way for us to celebrate our wonderful community and the heritage of beautiful historic homes.”

In recent years, the tour has annually raised $20,000 to $25,000.

“This year is unique because we hope people are ready to come back but aren’t sure,” Hebel said.

Advance tickets are $12 for members and $15 for non-members and are available online at  noblesvillepreservation.org  and in select Noblesville retail stores before the tour. Tickets can be purchased for $18 the day of the tour at the headquarters outside the Hamilton County Historical Society, 810 Conner St., or at the ticket table at Preservation Hall.

This map of historic trees was made several years ago when the Noblesville Preservation Alliance had a historic home tour. [the flags were homes from previous tours]  The circles represent historic trees. Sadly, some have fallen down due to storms, age, and disease.  Please look for these when you are in Old Town Noblesville. 

Arbor Day was officially proclaimed in 1874 by Nebraska’s Governor, Robert W. Furnas, and the day was observed April 10 that year. In 1885, Arbor Day was named a legal state holiday in Nebraska, and April 22 was selected as the date for its permanent annual observance. A good idea spreads quickly, Many other states also passed legislation to observe Arbor Day each year. By 1920, more than 45 states and territories were celebrating Arbor Day. And the tree planting tradition became prominent in schools across the nation in 1882, with schoolchildren learning about the importance of trees as well as receiving a tree to plant in their own yard.  On March 10, 1913, the Indiana legislature passed a bill setting the third Friday of April as Arbor Day. In 1929, an amendment was passed in the legislature changing the date to the second Friday in April.

Hello April.

This is a great time to take a walk in your neighborhood
