Things to do in Wilmington

Wilmington grew up as North Carolina’s port city on the Cape Fear River, and its riverfront historic district, with antebellum homes and brick warehouses, is one of the largest in the state. Today the Port of Wilmington, the University of North Carolina Wilmington, healthcare and a growing pharmaceutical and research sector drive the economy. The city is also one of the busiest film and television production centers on the East Coast; shows such as “Dawson’s Creek” and “One Tree Hill” were shot here, and crews still come and go year-round.
