    Historic District

    Over the course of the tour Guests will visit 4 distinct and unusual pubs. The crawl varies nightly (as we have 10 pubs to pick from), and no tour is the same twice. These are some of Wilmington's coolest, most interesting pubs that are off the beaten path (in alleyways, basements, rooftops), that most tourists and many locals would have a hard time finding them. Once at each pub there is time to use the restroom, purchase a drink or three (though there is NO obligation to purchase or consume alcohol during the tour), peruse the pub, & then gather around the guide. Each story will include the history behind the pub or location or town, and the ghostly occurrences as researched by our family since 1978. After the story there is time to finish drinks, take photos, ask questions and prepare for your journey to the next pub. All pubs are located in historic Wilmington and it's usually a block or two walk between each one.
