Meeting Point: Municipality of Port Hope 56 Queen Street
Explore the stately homes of two of Port Hope’s premier streets. This tour features an eclectic mix of cottages and townhomes, the homes of sea captains and leaders of industry, the mansions of wealthy American summer residents and (at least one) European noble. Come hear their stories and appreciate the wonderful architectural heritage they have left for us.
This 90-minute (approximate) tour will take you on an easy 1km stroll past some of the most fascinating landmarks of Dorset and Augusta Streets in Port Hope, Ontario. Our knowledgeable guides will tell you all about the buildings you go by and the people who built, lived, or worked in, and restored them.
