ABOUT THE EVENT

The Groton Community Home Tour showcases unique homes that include both historic residences and newer homes with spectacular decor and distinctive details.  The tour provides an opportunity to view the beautiful interiors of these homes, and also to do some holiday shopping from vendors and local artisans with handiwork on display in each home.  Additional artisans and vendors are also on site at Groton Community School  on the morning of the Home Tour for attendees and also the general public.  Be sure to stop by our renowned GCS Bake Shop!

Our annual Home Tour is held on the Saturday before Thanksgiving.   All proceeds benefit our nonprofit school, supporting the growth and development of young children.
