The Victorian Heritage Festival’s 2024 theme is “Home and Hearth”. Presentations, tours and family friendly Victorian-era fun are
sure to entice you to explore our town. Take walking tours of Downtown and
Uptown, including visiting a historic home and a tour of the newly completed
Post Office, circa 1892, renovation. See the “Magic Lanterns” that were the Victorian
predecessors of slide projectors. There will be presentations on widow’s walks,
the “melting” bricks of Port Townsend, the history of the Adams-Pragge house,
the Victorian obsession with Fern and so much more.
