The next Tour will be held Sunday, June 2nd, 2024. Proceeds from the Tour support Scholarships given to graduating seniors who live in Bexley as well as the Club's missions of Community, Education and Social Services.
The annual Bexley House & Garden Tour is not just to show some of the amazing history and homes in Bexley, but it is also our main fundraising event for the Bexley Women's Club Scholarships.
Bexley Women's Club has awarded over 930 Scholarships totaling over $600,000 to students in the Bexley area. The House & Garden Tour is a large part of what makes this possible.
Over 200 volunteers are required to staff the tour. Volunteer opportunities exist almost all year round. Whether you are a member of the Bexley Women's Club, just want to volunteer, or want to become a sponsor, your help is welcome and needed!

The 2021 edition of the tour will focus on outdoor living. Bexley residents have risen to the COVID-19 challenge by finding creative ways to enjoy their outdoor spaces. This year, the Bexley Women's Club House & Garden Tour will feature some of the best outdoor living spaces in Bexley. We will also showcase one of our alleys, following May’s Love Your Alleys Month in Bexley. This is definitely the year to celebrate our gardens, yards, patios, and decks and all the different ways that outdoor spaces enhance our daily lives. We welcome you to join us on June 6, 2021!
Please note: Masking and distancing will follow state and local guidelines in place on tour day. In order to reduce our carbon footprint, we will not be providing bottled water this year. Guests are encouraged to carry their own water in reusable containers. Since the tour will be held rain or shine, please plan for an enjoyable outdoor event. That may include umbrellas and boots (but we’re hoping for a sunny day). The BEAT bus (with COVID spacing restrictions) will be available to help those who have difficulty traveling to tour locations.
