Steiner Cabin Tour

St. John Catholic Church to be Featured on Steiner Cabin Tour This Year

     Something very special awaits Steiner Cabin Tour participants this year. On August 13, 2022, in addition to seeing inside the Welches homes included, participants will also tour through the St. John Catholic Church, built in 1937, by Henry Steiner. This is the first time the Church will be on the tour since recent restoration work has been completed. “We’re very excited to include the Church this year; it is spectacular!”, said Lloyd Musser, Museum Curator.

     Event tickets go on sale July 1, at 8:00 A.M., online at www.mthoodmuseum.org. Tickets are $35 each for museum members and $40 for non-members. The website shopping cart will encourage paying  for tickets with a Paypal account, but purchasers may pay with a credit card, by following the instructions.

     All ticket sales will be final, no refunds will be offered. However, ticket holders may transfer their tickets if they’re unable to attend. Tour guests should bring their printed receipt and claim their eligibility wristband within the first hour of their chosen start time.
