PORT TOWNSEND — The Jefferson County Historical Society walking tours of Port Townsend’s historic districts will begin June 6 and continue through the end of September.
Guides in historical costumes will take visitors on tours of downtown and uptown, pointing out architecture and telling about the colorful characters who built Port Townsend, said Bill Tennent, historical society executive director.
“It’s the perfect afternoon getaway without leaving town,” he said.
Tours are $10 for those who are not members of the historical society; members can take the tours for free.
Downtown tour “Sin at Sea Level” is at 2 p.m. Saturdays beginning at the Jefferson Museum of Art & History, 540 Water St.
The tour fee includes admission to the museum.
Uptown tour “The Moral High Ground” is at 2 p.m. Sundays beginning at the Rothschild House Museum, which is on the bluff at the corner of Franklin and Taylor streets.
The tour fee includes admission to the museum.
Make reservations on either tour by calling 360-385-1003 by noon the day of the tour.
