Ayr Mount Historic Site
376 St Marys Rd, Hillsborough, NC 27278-2523
Located in Hillsborough, North Carolina, Ayr Mount strikes a startling figure in the historical town. The 1815 federal, masonry home was the first of its kind in this once bustling trade town, and thanks to the preservation efforts of our founder Richard Jenrette, remains well preserved with several original family objects on display. CAHPT invites you to explore the site to learn about the design, construction, and maintenance of the estate as well as the very lives of those, enslaved and free, who crafted, lived, and occupied the extravagant home and landscape from 1820 to 2018. Guided tours will be offered Thursday & Friday at 1:00pm and 2:30pm. Tours on Saturday take place at 11:00am, 1:00pm, and 2:30pm. All guests must purchase tickets in advance: https://tickets.classicalamericanhomes.org/ayr-mount. The grounds and Poets Walk are open daily from 9:00am to 7:00pm.

Haunted Hillsborough Tours
Riverwalk Entrance, End Of Nash And Kollock Street, Hillsborough, NC 27278
Hillsborough is the Triangle's oldest town. Over 260 years, a town can acquire quite a few ghosts....
We offer three different walking tours around the historic downtown area.
Historic Ghost Tour
In 1771, Enoch Pugh swung from the gallows in Hillsborough, and he has been hanging around (well, buried close by) ever since. Join Enoch for a 90-minute, 1.5-mile walk around downtown Hillsborough. As you visit more than a dozen stops, including haunted houses and the execution site, Enoch will describe real history, native and post-colonial legends, and numerous local "haints."
'Haints Misbehaving' Ghost Tour
This two-hour tour focuses only on local ghost tales and legends ~ no colonial history. Some of the spooky tales are unique to this tour!
'Just Regulators' History Tour
This 1.5-hour, day-time tour focuses only on events in Colonial Hillsborough history ~ no ghosts! Just real, well-researched stories of consequential events, where they actually happened!
