HISTORICAL DOWNTOWN WALKING TOURS
Each year 40 to 45 people from Alpha Tours in Sacramento come for the walking tour.
In the
past we have hosted, a Rotary Group Study Exchange from Norway who visited Poulsbo on the first
stop of their tour of Western Washington and British Columbia. The group
consisted of young professional women and a group leader. Poulsbo provided
them with a comfortable transition between Norway and North America. The group
enjoyed a Poulsbo Walking Tour during their stay.
PHS hosted a group of
about 45 members of the Kitsap County Historical Society’s "Eat Your Way Through Kitsap" program. After lunch at Mor-Mor Bistro, the group and PHS tour guides
Gordon Stenman, Hildur Gleason, Arlene Watland-Fureby and Judy Driscoll, walked
through downtown Poulsbo. Afterwards, Gordon hosted the group at the
Martinson Cabin. Everyone was enthusiastic and complimentary about the
tour and cabin events.
A tour group of about 40 people
from California took a Poulsbo walking tour. This group visited several years consecutively.
Tour
guide Judy Driscoll kicks off our fall school programs by leading Christ the
King Academy’s fourth grade class on a Poulsbo Walking Tour followed by hands-on
activities at the Martinson Cabin. PHS is now a regular part of this
class’ Washington History unit.

HISTORICAL MARTINSON CABIN TOURS
The Martinson Cabin museum officially
opened to the public on October 29, 2006. This culminated years of patience by
the Martinson family, perseverance by Bill Austin and the Bight of Poulsbo
group, donations by many civic-minded businesses and individuals, countless
hours of volunteer time, cooperation of the City of Poulsbo and the Poulsbo
Historical Society's determination to make this historic jewel available to the
public.
