Second Sunday Salisbury History Hike

10/09/2026

Just a reminder: there will be no Second Sunday Hike this month because I'm doing 4 downtown walks for the museum later this month (and there may be a hurricane coming Sunday, too). Here is a little giveaway we are doing; you might just win 2 spots!

Congratulations to Kristin Beaver for winning two free spots to the October 16 Murder, Mystery, & Mayhem historic walking tour!

Thank you to all who entered!

Doing something a little different this month and raising some money for the museum with my Murder, Mystery, and Mayhem tour. We're going to start at the museum this time and have some treats before we go. Give us a call or email to reserve, the 30th timeslot is already halfway sold!

MURDER, MYSTERY, & MAYHEM IS COMING TO DOWNTOWN SALISBURY.

Some of Salisbury’s most fascinating stories aren’t the ones you hear every day.

Four opportunities to join us:
• October 16 at 7 p.m.
• October 17 at 7 p.m.
• October 23 at 7 p.m.
• October 30 at 9:15 p.m.

$15 adults | $10 children
Ages 13+ encouraged
Hot chocolate included

Each tour group is limited to 15 participants.

We are also going to make a big announcement about the future of the Old Stone House. Love to have you there.

The 50s? The 70s? The 80s? Tell us which decade you're coming as. 🕺 Our Patron's Party is Friday, September 18 at 6:30 — food, drink, and music. Your ticket also gets you into Germanfest the next day, free. $50 per person, reservations required. And if dressing up isn't your thing, that's fine — we just want you here!

It's the first of the 'ber months. Want to do a history walk this Sunday? I'll see you at 3pm at New Sarum on the 13th. Lesser-known shot of the Confederate prison, just because.

Given the recent report about the Smithsonian:

“If you are a historian, then your job better be to help people remember not just what they want to remember, but what they need to remember.”

-Princy Jenkins

Let's talk Revolution this Sunday. Maybe the dark local underside that often gets swept under the rug. I'll see you at New Sarum at 3pm.

Tomorrow is the day! Hope to see you at New Sarum at 3pm.

Got a special topic and partner for next Sunday's walk. Come on out and get some exercise while learning some history.

Wonder how much will still be here for the hike on Feb 8th?

Two things:

a.) Let's do a Revolutionary War-themed history hike this Sunday in honor of the 250th anniversary of the Revolution.

2.) Make sure you sign up for the Rowan History Class if you have Thursday evenings free. It's a great way to learn more about the community, and you get to be in one spot.

Life has gotten very busy lately, and I won't be able to do a tour today. Be on the lookout very soon for a rescheduled tour for Sunday, October 26th. I'm bringing back Murder, Mystery, and Mayhem just in time for Halloween with some new stories you may not have heard before!
