17th Annual
COTTAGE TOUR

Important Update

To our Cottage Tour attendees and Cannon Beach History Center & Museum family,

The 17th Annual Cottage Tour, scheduled for September 11 -13, 2020, in Cannon Beach, Oregon will not go ahead as planned.

The decision was not reached lightly, and we know it will be a difficult one for many. We have spent the recent weeks listening to our partners in the event production industry, government agencies, healthcare professionals, residents and volunteers who helped us reach this point. Bottom line, the health of our homeowners, volunteers, and attendees must come first. The uncertainty of the future and navigating social distancing in the homes slated for this year’s tour seems insurmountable at this time.

That said, we cannot let you go empty handed! We would like to share a digital historic walking tour map of businesses in Cannon Beach. We are busy working hard on the map and plan to have it ready for you in the next few weeks.

As you know, the Cottage Tour is the Cannon Beach History Center & Museum’s main fundraiser. We hope you will consider supporting us by making a tax-deductible donation, or purchasing one of our great online gifts – look for the $5 Fall Raffle to be entered in to win a Cannon Beach themed gift basket. We’re working hard to bring fun Cannon Beach history things for you to do with your families, such as the upcoming Self Guided Historic Walking Tour map which will include an interactive map, links, cool historical facts, more, coming soon! Keep checking back here for the latest on more exciting events. We appreciate your support in helping us recover from the loss of this event to continue promoting, preserving and sharing the history of Cannon Beach and Arch Cape.

Thank you for your patience and support as we navigate this difficult situation together.

To keep up-to-date with all of the Cannon Beach and Arch Cape history happenings follow us on Facebook or Instagram.

Stay healthy and take care.

You can still get your work done while you’re at the beach!

One of the features of this kitchen was the waterfall countertop.

This home has a gorgeous view of Haystack Rock in almost every single room except one.

The well-known Bouvy-West Cabin was one of the highlights of the tour.

This home resembles what a true Cannon Beach cottage looks like.

This prefab modern style home was a favorite for many tour goers.
