Just took the Wilmington Historic Tour and wow!

I recently went on the Wilmington Coup and Massacre Historic Tour, and it was eye-opening. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and made the stories come alive. The tour dives into some heavy stuff, but it's so important to understand this part of our history. Highly recommend it for anyone who's into history or wants to learn more about social justice. Just be ready to walk and soak it all in!

Thinking about gifting this tour!

I'm considering getting the Wilmington Coup and Massacre Historic Tour as a gift for my dad, who's a history buff. Do you think this would be a good choice? He loves learning about local history, but I'm not sure if it's too heavy for him. Any thoughts?
