Thomasville is a unique town full of historic homes and buildings, many of which are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The self-guided walking tour available in the Thomasvile Visitors Guide will guide you through Thomasville’s historic districts where you will see a variety of architectural styles dating from the 1800s. You will notice historic markers on buildings and homes that tell you the year of construction and the original business or family that occupied the structure. Many of the homes you will see are private residences and are not open to the public. While visitors are asked to respect the owner’s privacy, feel free to admire the outside structure. The tour length is approximately 4.3 miles and depending on your stamina, you may wish to break down the tour into smaller, shorter segments. Enjoy your walk through the past in this walking tour through Historic Thomasville.
