CANNON BEACH, Ore. – The “best autumn event” in Cannon Beach, according to Sunset Magazine, returns to celebrate its 20th anniversary this September. The Cannon Beach History Center & Museum’s annual fundraiser, the Cottage Tour, is scheduled to take place the weekend of September 8th – 10th 2023. The popular historic home tour will take place on Saturday, September 9th and will feature delightful homes and gardens from past years in a Greatest Hits Tour. Homes featured on previous tours have received praise in Oregon Home Magazine, Sunset Magazine, The Oregonian, Seattle Times, Oregon Coast Magazine, HGTV, among others.
While the home tour on the 9th is the main event, the whole weekend is filled with fun activities including an Opening Night Benefit Bash on Friday, September 8th with live music, light bites, drinks, and a Silent Auction. Then, on Sunday, September 10th, make sure you stick around for the ever-popular High Tea by the Sea.
The Cottage Tour is a fundraiser for Cannon Beach’s only history museum, the Cannon Beach History Center & Museum. The Cannon Beach History Center & Museum is home to the actual cannon that Cannon Beach is named for, a replica long house, a tide pool exhibit, and the history of Cannon Beach and Arch Cape. It features a free lecture series, workshops, and family friendly activities throughout the whole year. This private non-profit is free to explore, and donation based thanks to events like the Cottage Tour! The Cottage Tour is a don’t-miss event for history enthusiasts, home designers, architects, and anyone who would like to see inside of some of these quaint cottages and historic homes.
Tickets for the Cottage Tour will be available July 1 through the Museum’s online gift shop (www.cbhistory.org) or by phone at 503-436-9301.

As a volunteer, you get to see the homes, free of charge.

In addition to sharing the rich history and amazing homes in Cannon Beach, the goal of the annual Tour is to raise funds for the Cannon Beach History Center & Museum. This fundraiser contributes a significant amount of the non-profit’s annual income. Thank you to our generous sponsors who have helped contribute to this year’s tour!
