PORT TOWNSEND — Historical walking tours will take place this weekend in uptown and downtown Port Townsend, courtesy of the Jefferson County Historical Society.
Guides in vintage costume will set out across downtown at 10 a.m. and
2 p.m. each Saturday and into the uptown neighborhoods at 2 p.m. Sundays through September’s end.
Admission is $10, or free for historical society members.
The guides fill their hourlong tours with stories about Port Townsend’s people and architecture. The walks are geared toward tourists and local residents alike.
The starting point each Saturday is the Jefferson Museum of Art and History, inside historic City Hall at 540 Water St., with admission to the museum included in the tour price.
Sunday tours of uptown start at the Rothschild House Museum, at the corner of Franklin and Taylor streets, with admission included there, too.
The historical society welcomes new tour guides and provides training, so previous historical knowledge isn’t required.
