Fort Anderson - Old Brunswick Town

Fort Anderson - Old Brunswick Town

Fort Anderson, also known as Brunswick Town, is the historic site of the first permanent settlement in the Cape Fear area. Established nearly 300 years ago in 1726, and destroyed just a few decades later by British Soldiers during the start of the Revolutionary War in 1776, visitors can still explore the ancient ruins of this long-gone civilization and enjoy a glimpse into the area’s centuries-deep roots.

Fort Anderson - Old Brunswick Town

The site is easy to reach for Kure Beach vacationers, and is located on the edge of the Cape Fear River in the small town of Winnabow (which is just south of Wilmington.) Though almost hidden along a series of small residential roads, the site is nevertheless distinctive for its ancient ruins that stand like sentries in the clean coastal landscape. A Visitors Center is found on-site, as well as a museum which boasts many archaeological artifacts from the site’s layers of history. Bordered by archaeological ruins of the foundations of the colonial kitchens, home sites and various outbuildings, patrons will be surrounded by history at veritably every turn. With outdoor exhibits, an ADA walkway, and lots of scenery in every direction, Fort Anderson is a surprising Cape Fear destination that history buffs will adore.

Masonboro Island Coastal Reserve

Situated on the edge of the Cape Fear Coastline in between the bustling towns of Wrightsville Beach and Carolina Beach, the Masonboro Island Coastal Reserve is a unique slice of undeveloped and natural barrier island shoreline that’s an important habitat for countless coastal species. Hard to reach but wonderfully isolated, visitors who make a trip to this literal deserted island will be rewarded with great shelling, beautiful landscapes, and miles of beaches to go around.

Cameron Art Museum

Celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2014, the Cameron Art Museum has grown over the past five decades into one of coastal North Carolina's premier collections of regional, national and international art, filling virtually every corner of its gallery space at its 17th Street and Independence Blvd. intersection location. The modern building with its trio of glass pyramid rooftops is easy to distinguish in Downtown Wilmington, however visitors are even more impressed when they walk through the doors and get a first glimpse of the permanent and rotating collections.
