On the Grid : Eastwood Home Tour

"Each Fall, some really nice Eastwood residents open their homes to perfect strangers to ogle and oodle through their homes and sometimes eat their snacks. These people put the "neighbor" in "neighbor"hood and maintain some pretty fantastic old homes. These craftsman-style, turn-of-the-century, wooden masterpieces are enough to make ol' Norm Abram cross south of the Mason-Dixon and enjoy a Saint Arnold on one of these porches." - Primer Grey

The tour of the houses on a cold Houston evening felt magical. Everyone was so welcoming and knowledgeable. The restoration and the maintenance of the homes is impressive. I will definitely return to see all of the houses. We loved the choir.

The staff was super friendly and welcoming. Hope, our guide, was wonderful. She was very knowledgeable and engaging. The tour itself was very interesting and it's amazing to see how history is being preserved.

We did the Black History Tour. We learned of some of Houston's most influential African Americans that helped shape the city. The tour guide was kind older guy (Sorry I can't remember his name). But he was very knowledgeable. Everyone was very kind. This tour is well worth the time.

This was such an informative and fun experience I came back to tour more houses the very same day!!! Gary was super knowledgeable, personable and entertaining; he made my whole day getting to learn all about Houston's history with all the fun facts and tidbits he shared. Please add the military discount to the website where reservations are taken. I only found out one is offered after I got to the museum. Thank you!

Amazing tour - I was shown three most popular home on the property. The other houses were not open yet due to renovation. The tour was very informative and made sure I understood all the details. You’d enjoy it if you went during the week. On weekends there is not much.

Brilliant tours. First guide was knowledgeable, made the group feel welcome and obviously thoroughly enjoys his job. Unfortunately, our second guide was more interested in telling us his education in the subject, whilst making obvious mistakes.

A really nice exploration into Houston’s past. The tour is$15/person and the museum is $5 - both are less for seniors and children. The tour takes a little over 1 hr and gives a detailed look at 3 houses on the museum site. Overall, tour was well done and the homes are well preserved and furnished. The grounds are well kept and a popular spot for special events.
