We toured this beautiful home on a Tuesday morning and were the only two on the tour. The mansion was gorgeous and the guide knowledgeable. She provided a lively family history of a house that contained many period treasures. More

Went to see the house on free day. Pretty good but the guide seemed very nervous. Other then that, history lovers will like this one. More

Historical walking tours of the downtown Wilmington area are offered by volunteers. They follow similar routes but each volunteer has different specialty areas making the tours similar but not identical. More

The Zebulon Latimer House is a must-see in Wilmington, NC. The home is full of artifacts collected during the Latimers’ stay in the house. So much history is contained in this house on the corner of Orange and 3rd. All rooms are furnished and clean. In addition to the appearance, the guides know so much about each section of the...

The guide was very informative and knowledgeable. She knew the history of the house and was able to answer many questions. Unlike other tour houses you could join the tour throughout the house and quite at any time. The tour is well worth the time and price. More

I took my daughter and some visiting family members to tour the Latimer House. Prior to heading downtown, we checked and found that it was open from 11-5 pm on Saturdays. There was no way to reserve a spot for a tour so we assumed that it was a fairly open admission policy. We arrived at Latimer House at 12:45... More

Not a bad use of half an hour or so, but I think it was ten dollars each - and no reduction if you're a Latimer who's made the trip from England! More

We had got to this house on the late side, but the tour guide still took us on a tour of the house. This house is more decorated then the others and I enjoyed hearing the history of the Latimer's. I also found it interesting that they still had the slave quarters in the back even though we could not... More
