The Washington County Historical Society is putting history back together with this year’s Historic House Tour. The Stillwater Historic Homes Tour on Sunday May 21st from Noon to 5pm.
This tour will have eight very distinct houses that span more than a half a century.
Houses on the tour include the 1853 Warden’s House Museum; two unique homes in Stillwater’s Dutchtown area; a couple on the historic Pine Street and others that transport the visitor through time of Stillwater’s great architectural history.
House Tour co-chair Sheila Hause, “The Washington County Historical Society always does a great job in presenting their historic homes tour. It is something I always look forward to. The preparation and time the homeowners put in to presenting their homes is greatly appreciated. How wonderful that the homeowners put so much care and love into preserving their beautiful homes.”
“These houses show the transformation of Stillwater, from a rough and tumble lumber town to a gentler, river city,” according to Brent Peterson, Executive Director of the Washington County Historical Society. “The differences really put you in the timeline of the history of Stillwater and show the beauty of each era.”
Each house on the tour has a local business sponsor, showing again how the business community rises up to help the area’s unique heritage. The funds raised will go to the preservation and dissemination of local and regional history.
Tickets are $25/person and are available for purchase at wchsmn.org, or by calling the Washington County Heritage Center at 651-439-2298. Tickets must be picked up at the Heritage Center on the day of the tour. The Heritage Center is located at 1862 S. Greeley St. Attendees are responsible for their own transportation between the houses.
