Jamesport Meeting House is holding an Historic Jamesport House Tour on Saturday, September 14, 2024, from 10 AM too 4 PM. The tour \u2013 last held in 2011 and back by popular request \u2013 offers a look beyond the front doors and garden gates of homes in Jamesport with historical and architectural significance.<\/p>\n
\u201cJamesport has a rich and varied history, from its founding as a whaling port in the 1830s, to becoming a resort destination later in the 19th century, and to the residential community it is today,\u201d said Richard Wines, president of the Jamesport Meeting House and local historian. \u201cThe homes on the tour reflect the transitions within the community over the centuries.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sixteen homes will be included on the tour, all in or near the South Jamesport Historic District. These include some of the first houses built in the new port in the 1830s, as well as those erected later in the 19th 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 houses range from a modest cape built by a ship carpenter \u2013 with multiple subsequent extensions and beautiful gardens \u2013 to a sprawling ranch-style home that was previously a potato grading warehouse. Several of the homes feature interesting interior design elements and art collections.<\/p>\n
Tour tickets will be $60 per person in advance, $75 on the tour day. Advance tickets may be purchased below.\u00a0All proceeds will benefit the 1731 Meeting House. Tickets are limited.<\/p>\n
The tour will begin at the Jamesport Meeting House located at 1590 Main Rd. The homes are all within three-quarters of a mile of each other \u2013 and tour patrons are encouraged to walk or bike the tour, as on-street parking is limited.<\/p>\nPURCHASE TICKETS HERE<\/a>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Jamesport Meeting House is holding an Historic Jamesport House Tour on Saturday, September 14, 2024, from 10 AM too 4 PM.
