For about a decade, the Town Tavern was Port Townsend’s
living room, the place where a good part of the town partied, lived, worked,
and dreamed. It was a place where
wandering souls cut loose by the blossoming counter-culture came to find new
definition. This is a special feature report on Tales of the Town Tavern, which
was the title of a festive reunion of some of Port Townsend’s most colorful
characters, who came together recently under the aegis of the Jefferson County
Historical Society’ First Friday Lecture Series to swap stories about the
legendary drinking establishment and rooming house that in the 1970s came to
define the heart of the town.
