Walking Tour of Fourth Ward

 

Experience a Victorian past with this tour through Charlotte's Fourth Ward. These homes, built from the 1880's to the 1930's, were owned by the area's wealthy merchants, ministers, physicians and civic leaders. On your walk, you may see:

  • Berryhill House: Restoration of the house was led by the Junior League in 1976.

  • Overcarsh House: Lovely 'Queen Anne'-style home of a famous ghost (special arrangements can be made to visit this home).
    And many other wonderful homes in this turn-of-the-century neighborhood.

  • Bootleggers' House: Hear tales of the days of prohibition and the illustrious folks who lived in this area.

  • Evidence and charm of the prosperous Victorian days: Stately homes, gingerbread decoration, stained-glass windows, flower-filled planters and wide rail verandahs.

Come bring your group and enjoy strolling through our past!
