Dirty Dan Harris History Hike
The man known as “Dirty Dan” has become a local legend, with festivals, streets and businesses bearing his moniker. Who was this fellow with the catchy nickname?
We’re offering a special Dirty Dan History Hike to explore Dan’s former stomping grounds and dive into Dirty Dan, the man, and the myth.
A short time after selling off his donation land claim as the town of Fairhaven, Daniel Jefferson Harris died on August 18 in Los Angeles, California. Now a quaint shopping district on the south end of Bellingham, Fairhaven has come a long way in the 100 plus years since Dan’s reign.
This tour involves walking on sidewalks, hills, and trails, and features some mild "adult" content. It is around 1 mile in distance and should last around an hour to an hour and a half depending on how fast we walk and how much we talk. Wear comfortable shoes, weather appropriate gear, and bring a sense of humor.
Sunday, August 20th 2:30-4:00 PM
$15 general, youth rates
