HISTORIC JAMESPORT HOUSE TOUR

September 14, 10 AM to 4 PM

Jamesport Meeting House will host a Historic Jamesport House Tour on Saturday, September 14 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., featuring 16 incredible homes of historical and architectural significance in Jamesport and South Jamesport. Tour homes include some of the first houses built in the new port in the 1830s, as well as those erected later in the 19^th century and more recent residences designed by well-known local architects. Architectural styles range from Victorian gothic in a former Methodist campground, to Greek revival, Italianate and even mid-century modern. The homes on the tour are located within three-quarters of a mile of each other and tour patrons are encouraged to walk or bike the tour, as on-street parking is limited.

The tour will start at the historic 1731 Jamesport Meeting House, the oldest public building on the East End. The Meeting House is located at 1590 Main Rd. (Route 25), in Jamesport. Tour tickets are $60 per person in advance and $75 on the tour day. Proceeds from the tour will benefit the nonprofit Jamesport Meeting House Preservation Trust, a 501(c)3 charitable organization that owns and maintains the building. Local restaurants and wineries will be supporting the House Tour benefit by donating a portion of the proceeds from tour patrons’ purchases to the Jamesport Meeting House.
