Each tour will begin and end at the Wake Forest Historical Museum, 414 N. Main St.
Space is limited to the first 12 participants to sign up for each tour, so pre-registration is required by completing the online sign-up form at www.wakeforestnc.gov/wake-forest-historic-district-walking-tours.aspx.
Additional tours may be planned in the spring of 2017 depending on interest.
