SUMMARY:FOREST BATHING at BLACKWOOD FARM PARK
DESCRIPTION:In partnership with Orange County NC Parks and Recreation\, please join Aimee Vandemark as she guides you on a Forest Bathing Walk. Forest Bathing (also known as Shinrin-Yoku) broadly means taking in the forest atmosphere with all of one’s senses.    Not simply a walk in the woods; it is the conscious and contemplative  practice of being immersed in the sights\, sounds\, and smells of  the forest. During your walk\, Aimee Vandemark will guide you through  invitations to awaken your senses\, slow down\, be present\, and reconnect  with the nature and rhythm of your surroundings. (Cost: $40/per person)

SUMMARY:Historic Hillsborough Guided Tours 2026
DESCRIPTION:Experience American history through the unique perspective of one of North Carolina’s oldest and most historically significant towns\, with a guided walking tour of downtown Hillsborough. Established in 1754 as the seat of government for Orange County\, Hillsborough’s colonial legacy and signs of its importance in North Carolina and American history can be seen everywhere. \nThe tour begins at the Hillsborough Visitors Center\, located in the eighteenth century Alexander Dickson Farm House\, and guides visitors to a variety of historic places from the site of a 1790s African American-owned distillery to the 1840s Orange County Courthouse and the grave of one of North Carolina’s signers of the Declaration of Independence. \nThis is an in-person walking tour that sometimes crosses uneven terrain. Please plan to be walking or standing for the duration of the event\, wear comfortable walking shoes\, and bring a water bottle (plus your curiosity)! \nFor groups that are concerned about the length\, duration\, or terrain of the tour. Please\, contact The Alliance for Historic Hillsborough for other options\, including bus tours. \nTickets: https://www.zeffy.com/ticketing/3277bebb-5a4c-48ec-9a1e-0c4e287138b5
