There’s even an option for guests to take the tour on their bikes.

The Springfield Tour of Homes is this weekend, and offers an intimate look at Jacksonville’s oldest neighborhood. It’s an event you won’t want to miss as we celebrate Jacksonville’s 200th birthday.

Organizers say they want people to experience the character of the neighborhood and learn more about its history as Jacksonville gears up to celebrate its bicentennial.

Springfield homeowner Mike Delker is currently renovating his 1906 home along Pearl Street and says this tour really takes people back in time.

“The nice thing, I think, that the home tour can do, I hope, is show people from all over Jacksonville that Springfield has something for everyone,” Delker said.

Online tickets are $15. Tickets purchased the day of the tour are $20.
