The only historic home tour in Longmont.

Costumed Docents lead tours for guests

Historic Hoverhome, located at 1309 Hover Road in Longmont, Colorado is an elegant 1914 English Tudor, Gothic Revival home. The home is on the National Register as a Historic Landmark.

At Hoverhome, Docents serve as tour guides, dressed in period-vintage costumes. They lead visitors through the elegant home and formal gardens during public and private scheduled events. The house is also available for rental for weddings, parties, day retreats, luncheons or other special occasions.

Unlike other historic homes, in which visitors can look but not touch and must peer into roped-off areas, guests at Hoverhome can sit and touch and experience the feel of the house. The tour of the over 6,000 square foot home is full of historic information about Charles Hover and his family and life in Longmont and Boulder County in the early 1900’s.

The Tour

The tour does include some stair climbing. On tour days when the house is open, tours begin at 1:00pm, 2:00pm and 3:00pm (no reservations needed). The tour is approximately one hour and fifteen minutes. Groups are welcome.

Hoverhome tours are also available by appointment for groups and clubs. Groups touring Hoverhome, often arrange for a luncheon or a special dessert tea to be a part of their tour experience at Hoverhome.
