AAUW Home and Kitchen Tour 2024 - Sat. April 27th!
Making a comeback after COVID, the AAUW (American Association of University Women) Port Townsend Home and Kitchen Tour will be back live and in-person on Saturday, April 27th
and it’s going to be bigger than ever. Enjoy walking through 9 unique homes in Uptown for the Live Tour, and an additional 7 Jefferson County homes at your leisure on-line throughout the week.
Here are 8 Good Reasons to buy tickets:
Stretch your legs in Uptown Port Townsend with guests, family, or friends. Most of the homes on the Live Tour are within walking distance. Leave your car at the Haines Street P&R and hop the free Jefferson Transit #11 bus.
Sneak a peek inside Windship, a spectacular architectural landmark home on Morgan Hill with soaring rooflines and huge views.
Marvel at the rare, free-hanging staircase and the frescoes inside the Starrett Mansion. Pretty in pink, this Victorian beauty was recently purchased by Bayside Housing to provide needed housing for women.
Fall in love with the home featured in Erica Bauermeister’s book House Lessons and follow the author’s transformative journey renovating an old home.
Spark new ideas for your own home improvements. Local experts in their fields will present a variety of live seminars, including NetZero energy, aging in place, and how you can support women in the trades.
Indulge in more real estate fantasies. Your Live Tour ticket also gives you access to an additional 7 East Jefferson County homes on the Virtual Tour, available to explore from April 24 to 30th.
Consider joining the AAUW Port Townsend branch. Many of the 150 members will be docents at the Live Tour and can answer your questions. Membership is open to EVERYONE. AAUW’s mission is to advance gender equity for women and girls through research, education, and advocacy, and it can also be a great way to make friends.
Most of all, feel good! Every ticket sold supports the educational dreams of East Jefferson County women and girls. Last year the AAUW of Port Townsend and its sister organization, University Women’s Foundation, granted over $100, 000 to local girls and women, providing support for everything from a special STEM summer camp on a college campus for middle school girls, scholarships for 2- and 4- year degrees, and tuition assistance for women to attend graduate and trade schools. The Home and Kitchen Tour is the major fundraiser for this support
Tickets are available for $35 each at PortTownsendHomeAndKitchenTour.com or at the Welcome Center at First Presbyterian Church in Port Townsend on April 27 after 9 am.
