2025 Tour Season
News and Updates
Tours!
Spring is in full swing and we are ready to get out in the sunshine! Once again this season, our popular Sin and Gin Tours and Gore and Lore Tours will be offered weekly, with special tours on a more limited basis. See our CALENDAR for all current offerings. More dates will be added soon!
COMING UP THIS MONTH
Dirty Dan History Hike – a few times a year we like to offer this tour devoted entirely to Fairhaven’s grungiest founding father, Daniel Jefferson Harris. We explore the man and the myths while touring sites on his donation land claim and the town he platted as Fairhaven, now a charming historic district in South Bellingham. A great way to kick off the Dirty Dan Murder Mystery Weekend
Friday April 25th 6 pm $20
NEW! COMING IN MAY
Announcing the special event of the season:
Spirits of Sehome – A Good Time Ghost Tour
Join the Good Time Girls and Psychic Charles Crooks of Bellingham Ghost Tours for a special evening as we explore gruesome history of Bellingham’s Sehome neighborhood and reach out to its ghosts for answers to unsolved mysteries.
Saturday, May 24th 9:30-11:00 PM $35
Cemetery Tours are back!
The cemetery is a public park and requires a lengthy process for us to reserve dates and times for tours and times and dates are somewhat limited. We appreciate your patience and understanding.
Our guided walking tour of Bayview Cemetery, founded in 1887, is one of our most popular. On this tour we explore the history of the cemetery and how it has changed over time, visiting the older sections of the cemetery and some of the most intriguing monuments. We’ll say hello to a lot of interesting folks who were laid to eternal rest in days of yore.
NEW! COMING THIS SUMMER: Campus History Tours
We are excited to share the history of Western Washington University on this guided walking tour of campus. We will visit historic buildings and landmarks and tell fascinating historical tales from the Sehome coal mines through the establishment of the "Normal School” and beyond. Dates will be added soon!
AND MORE…
We will be adding more favorite tours from the BellingHistory roster, including the popular Shore Leave Maritime Tours and Columbia-Eldridge Neighborhood Tours and BellingQueerstory Tours - so stay tuned for further details!
THE PODCAST
We are working on getting some new episodes together, never fear. We are just way behind in all the things. Still in the works – recaps of our Mount Baker Theater shows, an episode on Billy Sunday with Marissa McGrath, Spiritualism stories with Sarah Fenstemacher, interviews with the Good Time Guides, and more! You can find old episodes, show notes and more here!
Speaking of our Mount Baker Theater shows
We want to thank everyone who came to our SOLD OUT shows at the Mount Baker Theatre in January and February. We had such a GOOD TIME talking about the history of theater and THE theater in Bellingham with you all. It was a GTG dream come true, and we hope to make it happen again next year!
THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE AND SUPPORT
Please accept my (Kolby) sincere apologies if I have not responded to emails or requests for donations. On top of everything else (gestures to world in flames) I have been dealing with a slew of family upheavals. This business is a labor of love and at times it can be difficult to keep it going. HOWEVER, in the face of the current national attempts at purging the history of diversity, we feel it is important to try to keep our tours and podcast and everything we do going. We remain committed to telling these stories. We thank you for your ongoing support and patience in these insanely trying times.
IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS or SUGGESTIONS let us know! Tell us what you want! We aim to please. XOXO
