Free Holly Street History Walking Tour

The Holly Street History Tour uses our city’s main arterial street as a guide to our shared past. We’ll stop along the way to tell stories of challenges and accomplishments, and what hasn’t really changed since Bellingham’s earliest days. This general history tour covers topics of growth, social reform, the arts, women’s history, racial tensions, cooperation and environmental recovery.

Tours will meet in front of the Bellingham Farmers Market pavilion near the goat statue at 1:00 p.m., and attendance will be granted on a first-come, first-served basis until capacity. These tours are free, but a suggested $5 donation will support our guides and our mission of furthering history education in Bellingham.
