The annual Leavenworth Vintage Homes Tour has become a holiday tradition for area residents and visitors. The tour offers a glimpse into the unusual legacy of history to be found only in Leavenworth. As a river city on the Missouri, Leavenworth takes great pride in an extensive selection of Victorian-era homes and numerous historic sites.

The Carroll Mansion Museum serves as tour headquarters. Selected homeowners graciously open their historic homes, festooned in holiday decor, to transport visitors back in time as they become immersed in the Christmas spirit on the second Sunday of December.

Tour proceeds benefit the operation of the Carroll Mansion Museum and the mission of the Historical Society to preserve Leavenworth County history.
