A number of city heritage and cultural landmarks will again put out the welcome mat September 14th for the annual Doors Open Peterborough event.
Organized by Peterborough’s Architectural Conservation Advisory Committee, Doors Open invites residents to go on a self-guided tour of featured sites as well as take walking tours with historians.
Since 2002, it has brought participants behind closed doors at, among many other places, the Lift Lock, city hydron generation stations, Victoria mansion and more modern architectural gems such as Trent University.
Committee chair Stewart Hamilton share details of two Doors Open stops on this year’s tour.
New this year, says Hamilton, was an invite of submissions for potential tour stops.
While the locations change year to year, Hamilton says the premise of the event remains unchanged.
For the list of this year’s 10 tour stops, a map of their locations and guided tour details, visit www.peterborough.ca/dop2024.
