The Grand Tour of Homes is proud to present some of Peoria’s fine historical and architectural heritage on the 2013 Grand Tour. On Sunday, May 15th 2016 from 12:00 p.m. until 5:00 p.m. the general public is invited to tour five West Bluff homes and the Main Street corridor’s shops and artists. For thirty years the Grand Tour has had the privilege of highlighting these treasures and sharing them with the community.
