For the fifth year, the Museums of Brevard (MOB) is offering holiday tours of 7 Brevard County historic homes. This year there are two types of tickets. You may buy a ticket and tour three of the homes but not the lighthouse ($30) or you may buy a ticket to tour three homes and the lighthouse (extra $10). If you choose to visit more than three of the homes you will need to contact that home and pay at the door. The tours begin at 10 am and the last tour at 2PM.
Some of the historic homes require reservations, which can be made directly through the individual home. We have designed a planning guide to assist in the process of making reservations. The planning guide will be an attachment to the email receipt you receive. It will also contain your ticket and your tax receipt. Be sure to download the planning guide when you receive it. You will receive your PastPort at the first home you visit, which will be your ticket for the remainder of the tour. All proceeds from this event will serve as donations to participating museums for historical preservation projects.
