Description

We will travel by van to Southport, hop on the ferry to Bald Head Island, and then enjoy an island-wide history tour. The Bald Head Island Historical Tour is a comprehensive, island-wide experience aboard a golf cart. Your trained guide will drive across the island while discussing four centuries of Bald Head Island’s history. Themes include piracy, colonization, the U.S. Lighthouse Service, U.S. Life-Saving Service, and development of Bald Head into an island resort. Your admission to the Smith Island Museum of History is included, as is the opportunity to climb Old Baldy Lighthouse, with a bonus of a 10% discount in the Old Baldy Foundation gift shop. Lunch at the marina is on your own. Please register by 3/14 so that we can purchase tickets for the island historical tour. Departure time is 8 a.m. Activity Level 4.
