Spring Bus Trip The public is invited to join the History Place on Saturday, April 17th for a fabulous bus tour to the Orton Plantation. The historic Orton Plantation, located south of Wilmington, is designed around a 1735 mansion and colonial rice fields overlooking the Cape Fear River. It has 20 acres of secluded walking trails and is surrounded by hundreds of acres of rice fields. Its 100th anniversary is this year and extensive renovations have been made in the gardens to open up the views to the Cape Fear River and preserve the colonial rice fields. Among the predominant species in the garden are live oaks, camellias, azaleas, flowering fruit trees, daphne, hydrangeas, crape myrtles, dogwoods, and colorful spring and summer annuals. Lawns and water gardens lend variety to the lush vegetation. The cost is $55 per person. Call Cindi Hamilton at the History Place to sign up or for more information. 252-247-7533 x 101 or email at historyplace@starfishnet.com
