Progressive Hike 3 - Old Cape Fear Countryside (2.1 miles linear) 

Meet at White Oak Post Office, 10384 NC-53 W, White Oak, NC 28399.

This easy 2.1-mile hike proceeds on quiet back roads through mixed coastal-plain forests and pine plantations to Harmony Hall Plantation Historic Site. The plantation features one of the oldest surviving residences in North Carolina, along with several outbuildings, built in the 1760s by Col. James Richardson, a prominent revolutionary war officer and state representative.

Local historian Albert Shaw will guide the hike, ending with a tour of Harmony Hall. This is a linear hike, so a shuttle will be set prior to start of hike. 

The drive to Surf City from White Oak is 1 hour, 45 minutes.
