THE PORT HOPE HOUSE TOUR: The annual Port Hope House Tour raises funds for the preservation and restoration of architecturally and historically significant buildings in town as well as those in the greater municipality of Port Hope. In addition, we fund a Heritage Scholarship for a local student who is entering into one of the heritage trades at the post-secondary level. All committee members are volunteers and all proceeds go to the Port Hope Heritage Foundation.
