Cannon Beach Cottage Tour
An annual tradition, The Cottage Tour is a fundraiser benefiting the Cannon Beach History Center and Museum with all proceeds directly benefiting the organization’s operations. Raising nearly 20% of the annual income needed to run the facility and its programs, this event has become more popular every year since its inception and is the reason why the museum remains free to all visitors year-round.
