Port Townsend: Historic home to open May 1

Rothschild House, the smallest Washington State Park, will open for the summer season next week in Port Townsend.

Located at the corner of Taylor and Jefferson streets, the historic home built in 1868 displays original furnishings, wall and ceiling papers and woodwork. It is considered a time capsule of family life in the Key City in its earliest days.

The Rothschild House will be open daily starting May 1 through September from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. with admission $3 for adults and $1 for children.

One of the first homes built in Port Townsend, the house remained in the Rothschild family until 1957, when it was donated to the Washington State Parks system.
