Did You Know?
In the mid 1950s, the Woman’s Garden Club held many events in Indian Village. Their Garden Fair was a precursor to the current tour, which began its run in the 1960s and became an annual event in 1973. It is now sponsored by the Historic Indian Village Association (HIVA), the Indian Village Woman’s Garden Club and the Indian Village Men’s Garden Club. Today, the Indian Village community consists of 352 households, plus four churches and two elementary schools.
This historic district includes Burns, Iroquois, and Seminole Avenues from East Jefferson running one mile north to Mack Avenue. Although there are features on many homes that fall into a distinct architectural style, Indian Village can best be described as eclectic. As is so typical of American independence, owners chose elements from different architectural styles when building their homes.
Tour Homes
The Historic Indian Village Home and Garden Tour Committee is pleased to once again host a TWO DAY tour of selected homes in our beautiful neighborhood.
The two-day ticketed event welcomes guests to view the interiors of six homes built between 1895 and 1920 as well as local gardens, historic churches, and the private Detroit Waldorf School.
It’s a special day of antique cars, lemonade stands, and lots of talk about all the special people who called this neighborhood home at the turn of the century and those who live and love it now.
Explore stunning homes built by some of the city’s most renowned architects which includes Burns, Iroquois, and Seminole Avenues from East Jefferson one mile north to Mack Avenue.
An Indian Village member will guide you through residential designs from the 350-plus home community including inspirations from Detroit’s most distinguished architects who designed Indian Village homes. Among them are Marcus Burrowes, Chittenden & Kotting, Albert Kahn, Louis Kamper, Rogers & MacFarlane, Smith Hinchman & Grylls, William B. Stratton, Leonard B. Willeke, George D. Mason, Robert O. Derrick and C. Howard Crane.
The Indian Village Home and Garden Tour annually attracts more than 2,000 people who love historic homes and gorgeous gardens. Make sure to reserve your tickets ahead of the event this June!
You can join us either Saturday or Sunday to view 5 historic homes, 5 gardens, 2 churches, and 1 school.
