Join the Burgwin-Wright House and Gardens for its thrilling "Colonial Wilmington & The Revolution" walking tour on March 13, June 12, September 11 and December 11!

The walking tour will invite guests to learn about how the American Revolution swept across Wilmington in the 1770s by visiting places important to the town's earliest days, including the former jail, courthouse and market sites. Get a unique perspective on what Wilmington would have looked on the eve of the Revolution, just in time for the 250th anniversary of America's independence!

The walking tour will depart from the Burgwin-Wright House (224 Market Street) at 9 a.m. and run 90 minutes. Please wear comfortable shoes and bring water to drink.

Tickets are $25 + tax. Please call 910-762-0570 to reserve your tickets now!

In commemoration of America's 250th anniversary, the Bellamy Mansion Museum is hosting an art exhibition by local artist James C.

Visitors can view the exhibit free of charge any time the museum is open (M-Sun. 10 am-4 pm). Please stop by the Carriage ​House Visitor Center to gain admission. Art is available for purchase and an Artist's Reception will be held on February 27th (6-8pm).

The Burgwin-Wright House is pleased to welcome two sisters, Annie Ingram and Hiedi Woessner, to our gallery for their show “Salt Sisters: Marsh to Mellow.”

Their artworks will be on display and for sale in our art gallery through March 21. Admission is free. The gallery is open Monday-Saturday 10am-4pm.

About the Show
“Salt Sisters: Marsh to Mellow” is a celebration of place, peace, and sisterhood. For sisters Annie Ingram and Hiedi Woessner, the coast has always been their happy place - a space to breathe, reflect, and feel grounded.

Though their styles differ, their inspiration is shared. Hiedi paints calming, expansive ocean scenes that invite stillness and quiet reflection. Annie’s current work captures the colorful, joy-filled rhythms of the marsh, alive with movement, warmth, and light.

Now living near one another along the coast of North Carolina, the sisters often paint with their toes in the sand, translating the same shoreline into two distinct emotional experiences - one mellow, one vibrant - connected by salt air and shared memory.

Empty Bowls is a beloved community event that brings together local restaurants, potters, volunteers, and neighbors to support hunger relief in our region. Each guest receives:
• One selection from a variety of specialty soups, donated by local restaurants
• An artisan bowl of your choosing, provided by local artists
• An opportunity to share a meal in fellowship with your neighbors, in support of Mother Hubbard’s Cupboard’s food pantry and Good Shepherd Center’s soup kitchen

All proceeds from Empty Bowls support both Mother Hubbard’s Cupboard and Good Shepherd Center. Your support helps Mother Hubbard’s Cupboard provide nonperishable groceries and essential items through its Food Pantry and helps Good Shepherd Center serve hot meals through the Soup Kitchen and offer fresh produce and staples through the Grocery Giveaway. Together, your generosity ensures that neighbors across our community remain nourished and cared for. Tickets are $50, and sponsorship opportunities are available. We look forward to welcoming the community for this meaningful, long-standing tradition of compassion and support.
