CANNON BEACH – On Saturday, Sept. 12, several cottages in southern Cannon Beach will be open for public viewing.

The sixth annual Cannon Beach Cottage Tour will feature houses in Tolovana Park dating from the early to mid-20th century. One of the cottages in the tour features a garden that has appeared in many national publications. This will be the first year the tour has centered in the historic Tolovana area.

A pre-tour luncheon and lecture will be held at the Tolovana Inn, 3400 S. Hemlock St., from noon to 1 p.m. the day of the tour, and the self-guided walking tour will take place from 1 to 4 p.m. People are invited to take part in a post-tour reception at the Cannon Beach History Center from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m. at the corner of Spruce and Sunset streets.

Luncheon/lecture tickets cost $15 and walking tour and reception tickets are $15, for a total of $30 for the package. Tickets can be purchased by calling (503) 739-0974, or at the History Center. Walking tour tickets can also be purchased the day of the tour.

The Cottage Tour includes a wall-hanging raffle featuring a cottage-themed quilt by Jean Williams. The drawing will take place at 5 p.m. as part of the post-tour reception. Raffle tickets can be purchased at the History Center, $1 for one ticket or $5 for six tickets.

The Cottage Tour lecture features a talk by Margaret Doman, whose connections to the Arch Cape/Cannon Beach area stretch back to 1961. Doman has been active in many organizations, including the Redmond Historical Society and Habitat for Humanity. She has made trips on behalf of the Rotary Club to Ethiopia and India. Her lecture will give listeners a fascinating peek into the history of Tolovana Park and each cottage on the tour.
