Historic Cary Trolley Tours
Apr 29, 2018 @ 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm
$1 – $18As part of its year-long celebration of the 150th anniversary of the Page-Walker Hotel, the Friends of the Page-Walker are partnering with the Town of Cary to offer trolley tours of historic downtown Cary.
Climb aboard and let our guides share with you the history of our town. You’ll see homes that housed former influential members of the community, historic churches, theaters and old general stores, and visit cemeteries with graves dating back to the 1800s. Did you know Cary has an extensive African-American community with a long history? You’ll learn about that too. And you’ll discover one of our most distinguished residents who served as the U.S. Ambassador to Great Britain under President Woodrow Wilson during WWI. At the end of the trolley ride, tour the Page-Walker Arts & History Center, once an historic railroad hotel. Or take a self-guided tour with our new brochure, available at the Page-Walker Arts & History Center or online at www.friendsofpagewalker.org.
