Meet Diana Mancel, researcher and tour guide and Sandy Strehlou, Historian for the Town of Friday Harbor, for a walk through time to discover the little-known stories of Friday Harbor’s historic church buildings.
Some are still places of worship, others have found new callings: each tells the story of the people and places that have offered comfort to islanders throughout the years.
This tour is part of History Lives Here, a month-long celebration of walking tours, history talks and other events.
Saturday, May 24th, 1:00 – 4:00 pm
