Hiking Details:

Thursday April 18th

We will be going on an urban walk in Raleigh to tour the Nature Science Museum, the Southeast’s largest natural history museum. This museum is home to dozens of exhibits from coastal to prehistoric North Carolina. There are four floors to explore.

After lunch, we will take a 10-minute drive to Mordecai Historic Park. We have reservations for a one-hour guided tour of the park. The Mordecai Plantation was originally a 1200-acre estate and much of Raleigh is located on land that was part of this plantation. Between 1968 and 1979, historic properties in Raleigh and other areas of the state were moved to Mordecai, including Andrew Johnson’s Birthplace, the Allen Kitchen, Badger-Iredell Law Office, and St. Mark' s Chapel. This gives the park a village-like feel it maintains today.
