Learn the fascinating history of the town you call home!

The tour begins with an explanation of the city's tactics used to raise the city streets in 1914. Next, take a short stroll through downtown Port Angeles to visit rediscovered basements and long-forgotten tunnels during the underground portion of the tour. Stop in at the city's original movie theater, and venture into a hidden brothel above the unassuming family shoe store. 

This fully-guided 2.5-hour tour provides insight into the past living conditions of the community. There are several short flights of stairs, and multiple opportunities to sit and listen to stories during the tour.
