Located in Hillsborough, North Carolina, Ayr Mount strikes a startling figure in the historical town. The 1815 federal, masonry home was the first of its kind in this once bustling trade town, and thanks to the preservation efforts of our founder Richard Jenrette, remains well preserved with several original family objects on display. CAHPT invites you to explore the site to learn about the design, construction, and maintenance of the estate as well as the very lives of those, enslaved and free, who crafted, lived, and occupied the extravagant home and landscape from 1820 to 2018. Guided tours will be offered Thursday & Friday at 1:00pm and 2:30pm. Tours on Saturday take place at 11:00am, 1:00pm, and 2:30pm. All guests must purchase tickets in advance: https://tickets.classicalamericanhomes.org/ayr-mount. The grounds and Poets Walk are open daily from 9:00am to 7:00pm.

Somehow with all the hiking I've done around here over the years, I've never made it to Ayr Mount. Bad move! Ayr Mount is a restored 1800s plantation property on the north bank of the Eno River....

This review is for the Poet's Walk trail. We arrived about 10:25am on a Thursday and there were only about 3 other cars parked in the parking lot. There was still plenty of parking spaces left....
