Building on a beloved Twin Cities historic preservation tradition spanning five decades, the Summit Hill Association and Ramsey Hill Association host the return of the joint Historic Hills House Tour.
Get rare inside access to more than 15 private residences, historic public spaces, and architectural landmarks across St. Paul’s Summit Hill and Ramsey Hill neighborhoods.

From grand mansions along Summit Avenue to charming family residences with custom modern design that blend history with life in the 21st century, the tour showcases the evolving spirit of historical preservation. What began decades ago as a showcase for unrenovated structures has transformed into a celebration of meticulous restoration and community stewardship.
