Walking
Tours
Downtown and Uptown
From June
through September, historically-costumed guides escort visitors on entertaining
tours of both Downtown and Uptown, pointing out the interesting architecture,
unique history and colorful characters who built Port Townsend. Uptown tours feature
the residential district, with its fine homes and churches. The Downtown tours
reveal the waterfront commercial district's rowdy past.
The pace allows time for talented guides to tell stories about the people who
built Port Townsend's National Historic District. These little expeditions last
about an hour and provide a wealth of entertaining information to both visitors
and long-time residents.
The Downtown tours begin at 2:00 p.m. on Saturdays at the Jefferson County
Museum (museum admission included). The Uptown tours start at 2:00 p.m. on
Sundays at the Rothschild House Museum (museum admission also included).
