The Harvest of Homes Tour is a special day where we show our pride in Reno's historic neighborhoods. Educating folks about local history is an important goal for HRPS and the Home Tour provides an opportunity for those to immerse themselves in the history of our town and be transported to an earlier time! Our walking tours reveal many stories and hidden gems throughout Reno, but we rarely have the opportunity to step across a threshold into the homes themselves. This Tour provides admirers of historic homes a rare glimpse inside of these special places.
