Join Dr. Julia Hans, author of the book Hidden History of Pinehurst, for a one-hour tour of Pinehurst Village. Based on archival research, this walking tour provides historical information not available elsewhere in the Sandhills. Pinehurst is called “the home of American golf,” yet its origin story has nothing to do with tees, greens, or driving irons. Discover how founder James Walker Tufts used his fortune to build a health resort for people of modest means, and hear about the transformation that took place in the decades to follow. Learn about famous residents like Annie Oakley, who lived in Pinehurst during her retirement. Step back into the bygone era of rogue tournaments and zany gymkhanas as we delve into Pinehurst’s multifaceted past! The one-hour walk takes place on level paths, so strollers are welcome!

See historical attractions such as The Holly Inn, The Theatre Building, historic cottages, and more. Enjoy abundant, beautiful photo opportunities. The tour ends in time to grab lunch at one of the local restaurants.
