This informative and entertaining spring walking tour is perfect for the entire family! And it's a great thing to do with Mom on or around Mother's Day weekend!

The historic Oakwood neighborhood is the oldest neighborhood in Raleigh at least partially outside of the downtown. On this tour, you will learn how much of the Oakwood neighborhood was almost destroyed in the 1970s.

We will also discuss the main architectural styles in Oakwood and the stories of the people who built these gorgeous historic homes. You will also see Oakwood's "modern house," which created such a stir in the neighborhood in 2013-14 that the story was reported nationwide.
