Today, Christine described the upcoming tour of homes in the Historic Districts of Wilmington as part of the NC Azalea Festival coming up April 11- 15, 2018. The houses on this year's tour range from simple bungalows to the mind's eye of the typical southern mansion. Some homes are completely restored to their past historic period, while others are in various stages of restoration. Docents will help explain the culture and past of each of the homes on this year's tour.
