The tour of homes will take place from 12:00 p.m. until 5:00 p.m. This year for the first time ever, the tour will focus on the unique craftsmanship and architecture of northern Cannon Beach. Attendees will have the opportunity to tour historic cottages (the original “tiny house”), grand beach homes, lodges, and inviting gardens. One of the highlights of this year’s tour is the site of one of the first hotels in Cannon Beach, built in 1892 from Spruce lumber. Guests took the train to Seaside and arrived at the hotel on foot, horseback or stagecoach over the toll road. The road ended at the hotel, where the proprietor served a free lunch and refreshments. The establishment burned down in 1913, and it wasn’t until the 1940’s that a new property was built in its place. Maps are available for pick-up by presenting your ticket on Tour day no earlier than noon at the Cannon Beach Chamber Hall.
Included in the cost of your tour ticket is a Saturday night concert at the Cannon Beach Chamber Hall. Join us for a post-tour celebration from 6:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m. with wine, live music, and hors d’oeuvres prepared by Sweet Charity. Local libations will be flowing thanks to Fort George Brewery. Local favorite, Thistle & Rose will provide music that will get you off your feet and dancing. Each year, as part of this popular fundraiser the Museum raffles of a locally hand-crafted piece of art and this year is no exception. This year, the raffle includes a painting by Cannon Beach artist, Jeffrey Hull, a beautiful vase by the artists of Icefire Glassworks, and much more! Raffle tickets are just five dollars. The highly anticipated quilt raffle will take place at 7:00 p.m.
Raffle tickets are one for $5, three for $10 or seven for $20.
Tickets for the self-guided tour are $35.
Tickets can be purchased at the Museum, over the phone, or through the online gift shop.
