Get a peek inside beautiful homes and gardens throughout Beaufort, North Carolina’s third oldest town, during the annual Beaufort Old Homes & Gardens Tour. This event is a great way to spend time with the family when visiting North Carolina’s Crystal Coast.

Enjoy walking tours of private historical homes, buildings on the Beaufort Historic Site, gardens, churches, the Old Burying Ground and more. The Beaufort Old Homes Tour also offers narrated bus tours of the historic district, an antique car show, music concerts and more.

And while you’re in Beaufort, you’ll find plenty of great food at local restaurants, local treasures in quaint shops, or even a glimpse of the wild horses across Taylor’s Creek.
