About Triangle Walking Tours:
Triangle Walking Tours was founded as a vehicle to share the fascinating history of North Carolina with enthusiasts of all kinds. When the public considers the idea of “places rich with history,” the Piedmont of North Carolina is rarely at the top of their list. However, it should be. ​Their goal is to change that. Triangle Walking Tours wants to illuminate the history, traditions, folklore, and culture that make our communities such wonderful hidden gems.
