Attractions Tips
Sacred
Spaces: Architecture and Religion in Historic Wilmington
by Walter H. Conser Jr. is an excellent resource for studying
Wilmington's historic churches.
The
best deal in historic Wilmington is the Passport tour ticket. The ticket
allows you to tour Bellamy Mansion Museum, the Burgwin-Wright House and
the Zebulon Latimer House for $21, a $3 savings. The ticket may be
purchased at any one of these locations and is good for one week after
purchase.
When you're planning to take the
Southport-Fort Fisher Ferry, be sure to arrive early — at least 20
minutes — during the tourist season. The ferry is quite popular and
fills quickly. Snacks and drinks are available and there's plenty of
room to wander while you wait. By the way, if you feed the gulls while
you're on the ferry, do so from the stern (back end); the other
passengers will appreciate that, and the captain will fuss at you if you
don't!
