Port Townsend, Washington is one of only three American Victorian Seaports listed on the National Registry of Historic Places. Our Walking Tours focus on the years of “Great Expectations” when building was booming, sailing ships were king, and citizens were sure Port Townsend would be “The Key City” gateway to Puget Sound and beyond!
Explore the quaint Uptown neighborhood surrounding the historic Post Office/Customs House with your local guide. Stroll past iconic and lesser known, yet historically significant, Victorian abodes built by Port Townsend's notable and obscure denizens in the 1800's. Hear their stories from Boom to Bust.
