If you’ve ever been interested in the historic homes in Old Towne Orange, your chance to explore them from the inside is coming soon. On November 5th and 6th, the Old Towne Preservation Association (OTPA) is hosting home tours of six historical homes in Old Towne. Visitors during the home tour are able to get a taste of Old Towne Orange’s historic past and understand more about why this is such a great place to live. This event only happens every two years so be sure to attend! From 10am-4pm you can go at your own pace on a self-guided walking tour which will begin at the Western Cordage Building located at 501 W. Palm Ave. There is parking available across the street from the Western Cordage Building and a trolley provided by Al Ricci Realty is available to transport to the homes where street parking is not ideal.

Ticket prices are $20 per person. You can either buy them through the OTPA by going HERE, on the day of the tour or at one of these stores:

Country Roads Antiques
204 W. Chapman Avenue
714-532-3041

Schroeder Studio Gallery
112 E. Maple Avenue
714-633-0653

Watson Drug & Soda Fountain
116 E. Chapman Avenue
714-633-1050

To make this a successful event, OTPA needs volunteers! This is great for anyone that loves all of these older homes and it is a great way to support the community. If you want to see these beautiful homes without having to pay, they offer a free ticket in exchange for no more than three hours of your volunteering on Tour days. To help out, send them an email at info@otpa.org or leave a message on their hotline at (714) 639-6840.
