Clallam County’s oldest homes part of Dungeness tour

SEQUIM — Some of the oldest homes in Clallam County will be on display during the Dungeness Historic Homes Tour on Saturday.

The guided tours of six historic structures in and around Dungeness will be hosted by the Museum & Arts Center in the Sequim-Dungeness Valley from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Advance tickets are $15 for adults and $5 for children age 12 and younger. The sole outlet is the MAC at 175 W. Cedar St. in Sequim.

Tour participants may also buy tickets on tour day at any of the historic homes.

On Saturday, the cost will be $18 for adults and $5 for children.

Participants may pay with credit cards at the MAC only, which also will be open Saturday.

Tickets include a driving map and details about each stop, but tour transportation will not be provided.

The tour is “an opportunity to glimpse into the lives of the pioneers,” said DJ Bassett, executive director of the MAC.

“You’ll have the chance to see some of the oldest homes in Clallam County . . . from the inside out and to talk to descendants of some of the earliest pioneers.”

Locations featured include:

■ Groveland Cottage, formerly the Seal family mansion.

■ The Henderson House, built in 1880.

■ The Eberle barn, built in the mid-1920s.

■ The 64-year-old Wheeler-Cays barn, which has been converted into a home.

■ The Cline house, built in 1892, with its barn finished in 1934.

Refreshments will be served on tour day at the Dungeness Schoolhouse, which also is a featured tour location.
