HISTORIC TARBORO WALKING TRAIL & TOUR
The National
Recreational Trail begins at the Blount-Bridgers House and leads visitors
through North Carolina's largest historic district. Take a leisurely
stroll or drive past beautiful historic homes and churches.
The two-hour tours begin at the Blount Bridgers house and cover about two miles of walking through part of the historic district. The tour includes the interior of Blount-Bridgers house (ca. 1808), the Everette House/Pender Museum (ca. 1800), the Cotton Press (ca. 1840) on the Town Common, and Calvary Church (1867) and the churchyard.
The tour guide tells about the architecture of the structures, some family history of who lived in some of the homes along with a history of how Tarboro grew from a small river port to a major trading center in the 19th century.
Join the family on Saturday morning, August 6 at 9:30am. Tour begins at the Blount-Bridgers House (located at 130 Bridgers Street, Tarboro).

IT'S A VINES BARNES SILENT AUCTION - JOIN THE PARTY!
With this year’s theme, “WE ARE FAMILY”, we believe and value the
movement of community, connection with family, and support of local businesses.
Our commitment is to raise funds to
provide educational scholarships for our high school seniors. We rely on generous donations from donors
like you to make these scholarships a reality for students in the pursuit of
higher education.
In 2014, more than 250 family members attended the reunion, which was the
largest reunion to date. Family members
from as far away as Cancun, Mexico have gathered together in previous reunions.
This year, the reunion commences at Edgecombe Community College. The highlight
of Saturday night’s festivities includes the silent auction, where we will
feature unique items and services from the area’s best retailers, restaurants,
entertainment venues and professionals.
Can you help us
out with a donation of a product or service from your business because it will
greatly help a high school student further their education? Contributions of all
sizes and values are welcome. Your donation can be something as simple as a
gift certificate to your business or an invitation to share lunch with you. To acknowledge your contribution, you will
receive recognition on our website, social media outlets, donor recognition
throughout the reunion event, as well as signage in the auction area.
