BREMOND — The Bremond Historical Museum is bringing back one of the town’s favorite traditions — the Tour of Historical Homes — on Saturday, November 15, 2025, from 1 to 5 p.m. The afternoon will feature guided tours through six of Bremond’s most storied homes, along with four more that can be admired from the street. Visitors can also stop by the museum for refreshments during the event.
This year, there’s an extra treat in store. The museum has teamed up with Jessup’s Berry Farm for a special promotion: the next 50 tickets sold will come with a sticker on the back, good for a free box of Jessup’s famous peanut brittle. Organizers say they’re thankful for the Jessup family’s continued support and their sweet contribution to the event.
Tickets are $10 in advance or $15 at the door. To purchase tickets or get more information, call 817-501-1658. Those who prefer to pay by Venmo can contact 469-867-9920.
Here’s a look at what’s on this year’s tour:
Guided Home Tours
The Stachowiak House – 117 S. Austin St., owned by Larry and Cindy Murray. Built in 1893, this is one of Bremond’s oldest homes — and locals say there’s quite a story about an old shootout connected to it.
The Rehberg Place – 210 W. Jack St., owned by Danny and Nikki Screws. Built in 1910, this home has stayed in the same family for generations. Nikki’s mother was even born in the house.
The Bartula House – 437 Bielamowicz Rd., owned by Mark Czajkoski. This property connects back to the Bartula family, descendants of one of Bremond’s early Polish settlers, Joseph and Cathryn Bartula.
Nana’s House – 106 FM 46, owned by Mary Jim Carroll Allen. Built in 1886, this home has been in the same family for more than 140 years — a rare piece of living history.
The Pietrowicz House – 110 E. Colorado St., owned by Danny and Maxine Burge. Built before 1925, this 100-year-old gem has been lovingly brought back to life by the Burge family.
St. Mary’s Church – 715 N. Main St. The church will showcase a breathtaking Nativity collection donated by longtime resident Larry Kotch, who gathered 166 sets from 40 different countries during his travels.
Street-View Homes
Wayne and Carol Boring Home – 318 W. Colorado St. Built before 1920, the house once reportedly housed slot machines upstairs during a livelier era of Bremond history.
John and Mae Tomzcesyn Home – 216 E. Collins St. Built between 1911 and 1916, Ms. Mae lived here for over 40 years and tended her garden daily until she passed away at 100.
CW Brown Home – 416 W. Jack St., owned by Kenneth and Heather Cook. Built in the early 1900s and owned by the Brown family for over 75 years, this home is being restored — complete with an old water well in the kitchen.
George Abraham Home – 302 N. Austin St. Built in 1922, this home features an early open-concept design perfect for family gatherings and remains in the Abraham family to this day. Locals know it well for its incredible Halloween and Christmas decorations.
With a mix of stories, architecture, and hometown charm, this year’s tour promises to be a fun way to step back in time — and maybe even take home something sweet.
