Walking Tour: Western Promenade

This tour explores one of America’s most beautiful and best-preserved residential neighborhoods. Situated on a bluff at the western edge of the Portland peninsula offering beautiful views, the Western Promenade neighborhood is filled with elegant late 19th and early 20th century homes designed by some of the most famous and successful architects of that era. The neighborhood was fully developed by the 1920s and is largely unchanged, with many of the homes lovingly restored. Join us for a great neighborhood walk filled with stories about the people who built those houses, the people who lived in them, and the times they lived in. 

Tour begins at the corner of Bowdoin Street and Western Promenade. Please note: There are no restroom facilities available. Parking is on the street.

Tickets are: Adults: $15, Kids (6-17) $10 and are available for purchase here.
