Embark on a unique journey through time. This year's 36th Annual Historic Willo Home Tour provided an exclusive chance to explore the interiors of 10 distinctive homes, plus a historic firehouse museum, each a testament to a unique architectural style.
The Willo neighborhood, nestled between Thomas and McDowell Roads from 1st to 7th Avenues, was among the first historic suburbs to emerge from the 1920s undeveloped agricultural land. Today, it is one of Phoenix's oldest and most picturesque neighborhoods, a vibrant part of Central Phoenix with all the amenities, culture, and community it offers. Visit us, stroll along our palm-lined streets, and soak up the rich history of Phoenix's past. The Willo neighbors, a tight-knit, supportive community, are eager to welcome and show you around.

With a nod to times past, our logo features a record player that reminds us of an age when families gathered in living rooms to listen to the news, special interest stories, and the latest musical craze. It also brings attention to music in general, a growing piece of the 2025 home tour, with live musical acts at each house and several on the main stage all day Sunday.
