For more than 55 years, the Gingerbread Trail Tour of Homes has invited visitors to step inside some of Waxahachie’s most treasured historic properties. What began as a community tradition has become one of Ellis County’s most beloved annual summer events.

 On June 6 & 7th 2026,  see inside six historic homes along with iconic landmarks throughout downtown Waxahachie. Each doorway opens into stories of craftsmanship, preservation, and generations who have shaped our community. Looking to elevate your tour? Experience the Gingerbread Trail Tour of Homes with a VIP ticket, giving you early access to the homes an hour before the tour opens to the general public, exclusive "Skip the Line" perks (allowing you to bypass the lines at every stop, both days during general admission hours), and exclusive access to the Gingerbread Trail Soiree Saturday evening at Railport Brewing Company! Children and student tickets also available.

​The Gingerbread Trail Tour of Homes is more than beautiful architecture. It's nostalgia. It's storytelling. This is history brought to life.
