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).
