ABOUT THE 2025 HOMES TOUR

The Volker Neighborhood Association (VNA) is thrilled to host the second Volker Homes Tour this May! Kansas Citians and old home enthusiasts from near and far are invited to explore five of Volker’s most exceptional and historic properties. The 2025 Volker Homes Tour will take place on Saturday, May 17, from 10am - 3pm.

​

This year’s tour features a diverse selection of homes, ranging from turn-of-the-century architecture to Scandinavian modernism, with charming examples of Craftsman, Kansas City Shirtwaist, and Bungalow-style homes throughout South Volker. Each property was carefully selected for its distinctive character, thoughtful interiors, and rich history—offering a glimpse into the vibrant community we proudly call home.

​

To protect the privacy of our gracious tour hosts, we do not release home addresses in advance. However, a curated selection of preview photos will be available online. Tour home addresses and estate guidebooks will only be provided to ticketed guests in-person on May 17.
