Haunted History Tour
This tour meets outside the N.C. Executive Mansion (Governor’s Mansion) at 200 N. Blount Street. Make sure that you’re on the Blount Street side of the mansion. The starting point is the corner of Blount and Jones Street, in the shade. The tour doesn’t go into the Governor’s Mansion or any other building. It just meets outside of it.
The tour will take you to four city landmarks, where you’ll learn about the history and legacy of that landmark, as well as an eerie story about the landmark.
