Southport Walking Tours

The Historic Southport Walking Tour was developed 25 years ago by The Southport Historical Society. The self-guided walking tour features 26 locations across Southport. Choose your path and explore Southport's unique story at your own pace. See the Old Brunswick County Jail, Old Smithville Burial Grounds with markers dating back to the 1800s, historic homes once part of the Fort Johnston complex, marvels of nature such as the Indian Trail gnarled tree at Keziah Park, chapels, and more. You can also use the PocketSights platform which is a free app that allows you to view other themed walking tours with guided audio, walking time, and distance. Pick up your brochure at the Fort Johnston Museum and Visitor Center and receive local insights from our volunteers!
