We look forward to our annual Home Tour, with beautiful homes to admire, and  wonderful wares from local artisans and vendors on display in all the homes on the tour and at our school.

Save the date (on the Saturday before Thanksgiving) to attend our annual event! 

Our Fifth Annual Home Tour: What’s in Store?

Even if you’ve been on a previous Groton Community Home Tour, you’ll be delighted to participate in this year’s event featuring homes spanning the centuries, from as far back as the 1700s and as recently as this decade. Among this year’s highlights: you’ll tap into the innovation of a modern, environmentally friendly home; learn about life in Groton centuries ago in an antique home, view stunning natural landscaping highlighted by a “trail to a castle”  and, be inspired by local artistry and decorating techniques adorning yet another. When combined with the unique offerings of select local merchants, a great excuse to spend time with family and friends while absorbing local culture and creative inspiration, you have a great way to lift your spirits and kick off the holiday season!
