The Old Seminole Heights Neighborhood Association’s long-running tour of homes won’t ever be as old as the dwellings it celebrates, but the event is trying its best to catch up.

While the entire neighborhood is much larger and includes three zip codes, OSHA marks 25 years of the beloved walkaround by focusing on the historic district marked by three avenues—Osborne to the south, Hanna to the north, Florida on the west—and the interstate to the east.

Homes will be on the map this year, along with local businesses and the tour’s meeting place, and Hillsborough High School (pictured), where parking will be available.

There are 15 stops on the tour, and the average age of the homes is 107 years old, according to former OSHNA president Tim Burke.

There’s also one home from the first ever home tour in 1999, one basement, and an Elvis Presley connection, too.

Cops are set to manage crossings at the major intersections, so don’t be as scared to walk or bike.

Tickets for OSHNA 25th Annual Silver Jubilee Home Tour happening Sunday, April 6 in Tampa are astill available and start at $25. Readers are invited to submit their own events to Creative Loafing Tampa Bay’s things to do calendar.
