The Edenton Pilgrimage is an enchanting self-guided tour through the heart of Historic Edenton and surrounding country side, highlighting prime examples of beautiful homes with architecture spanning across two centuries.
Private homes are open to view, dating from the 1700’s to the early 1900’s. Guests are greeted by members of the Woman’s Club in colonial attire and docents share the history, architecture, and stories of each unique property. A list of homes on tour will be posted early 2023.
The Pilgrimage Tour of Historic Homes and Sites is a biannual fundraising event put on by the Edenton Woman’s Club to support Historic Preservation and Education.
