Historic walking tour - Braxton Clark was our tour guide. The tour took about an hour. We had easy access to many landmarks. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable. I plan signing up for the rest of the tours that are offered and will ask for Braxton Clark.

Great Activity for Visiting Family Members! - I've lived in Fayetteville, NC for 30 years, but I'm always excited to learn something new about it. My adult son was home for Easter weekend, so I booked this historic walk as a family activity to do while he was here. Frankie did an AWESOME job talking about all of the historic sites downtown! She discussed all of the details and answered questions about each stop we made. Many facts we already knew from living here so long, but we definitely learned a few new things that we did not know about Fayetteville. I would have liked to hear history about the Mill on Green street where the old grist wheel is located, but I understand only so much can be covered during the timeframe. Overall, a great activity to bring visiting family members!
