Literary fans and writers will adore the Literary History Walking Tour - a cool tour that explores the streets of Downtown Wilmington from the point of view of some of the globe’s most famous scribes. Working in conjunction with Old Books on Front Street – an iconic book store in the heart of town – this tour will fascinate and educate new visitors on Wilmington’s centuries-old literary scene.
Before the Port City was a Mecca for movie making, it was a popular destination for writers, and this tour begins by explaining a little bit of Wilmington’s more than 400 year legacy as an important southern port town. From the Front Street launching point, visitors will embark on a 90-minute exploration that showcases famous locations from books, poems, and plays, and touches on some iconic locales that are hidden in plain sight. Tour-goers will pay a visit to "The Two Libraries", walk the streets of their favorite novels, and even stand where Oscar Wilde did when he lectured in the city. With so much unique, eclectic and downright fascinating history to uncover - (history which is often overlooked) - this tour will shed a new and literary light on Wilmington’s importance in the world of Southern Literature.

With a location on the edge of the Intracoastal Waterway, the Cape Fear River, the Elizabeth River, and even the Atlantic Ocean, Southport is a paradise for mariners. The town and the surrounding area is stocked with unique shops, restaurants, and attractions that are a shell’s throw away from the local docks, and which can accommodate the array of mariners who are cruising through or dropping anchor for the long haul. Regardless of whether a visitor wants to cruise the waters for days at a time, or just enjoy a ride while staying in the area on vacation, Southport delivers with ample options. Make the most out of a waterfront getaway, and discover all the ways why this region and boating seamlessly go hand in hand.
The lower Cape Fear region has played a role in American history since the region was first discovered by Spanish explorers and English colonists. At the same time, the local coastal habitats have been heralded (and preserved) as some of the most pristine coastal regions in the country. As a result of these roots as well as present-day ecosystems, a number of museums have been established to celebrate this legacy and cultural heritage.
