Doors that normally remain closed will open (some for the first time), highlighting the area's varied and interesting local history.
It all takes place on the weekend of September 11 and 12, except at Kinneil House which is only open on September
20.
This year's main theme is 'The Carron Story' that tells of how some 250 years ago, one of the cornerstone's of Scotland's Industrial Revolution was laid and how Falkirk became the centre of the nation's iron industry.
The Carron Company employed over 1000 men and 'radically altered Scotland's way of life' with their designs for the 'carronade'.
While this historic cannon was brought into many famous battles of the era, other designs were used for far more peaceful activities!
Buildings open (times vary) that help tell the story of the Carron iron industry include:
The Carron Phoenix company built on the site of the old Carron Works, The Old Gatehouse Carron containing two carronades and The Grahamston Gateway, the largest cast iron gateway ever constructed, all located in Stenhouse Road, Carron.
Falkirk Council's Museum Store in Abbotsinch Rd, Grangemouth containing a huge range of artefacts spanning many centuries of local history.
Polmont Old and Polmont Parish Churches, both in Bo'ness Road, Polmont.
Falkirk Parish Church, Manse Place, Falkirk.
The Barony Theatre, Borrowstoun Road, Bo'ness.
Kinneil House, Kinneil Estate, Bo'ness (ONLY Sunday 20 September as part of Kinneil Heritage Day).
Bo'ness councillor Adrian Mahoney, Leisure, Tourism and Community conevenor, said: "All of the buildings on offer this year have a strong connection to the Falkirk area's rich industrial and cultural heritage.
"There are some fascinating places to explore that show how much of Scotland's industrial revolution was centred the local area and how important a part it played in helping Scotland to prosper."
