Take a Look Inside
House Tour
Experience the personality, renovations, art, decor, and stories of a few properties in greater detail.
2021 gave us the opportunity to reimagine the House Tour in a virtual format. This 1-1/2 hour video gave an in-depth virtual tour of 12 historical properties in Port Hope. The videos not only showed you the nooks and crannies of each property, but also shared home owner interviews about the buildings, interior design and decor, lifestyle, art, and more!
The 2021 Virtual House Tour is now over. Sign up to get updates about the 2022 House Tour - fingers crossed we'll be able to get you inside a few houses in person!
