Hello!
Welcome
to the Burgwin-Wright House’s first ever blog!
My name is Alex and I am the new intern.
Over the next few months, I will be your virtual guide to what is one of
Wilmington’s oldest historical homes.
First,
a bit about myself: I am a senior, graduating this coming May from UNCW. I am an English Major with a concentration in
Literary Studies and certification in Professional Writing. When I first came to Wilmington as a young
freshman, I was immediately taken by the presence of history in Wilmington. The
old homes, the remains of cobblestone streets, the faded brick façade of
hundred-year-old buildings, all of which has captured my attention and
imagination. The horse-drawn carriage that meanders through downtown only
further accentuates the historic aspects of this port city.
Now,
I have the opportunity to participate, instead of passively gazing at the
ancient splendor. As an intern at the
Burgwin-Wright House, I will be acquainting myself with the history of the home
and the thought-provoking artifacts that rest within its centuries old walls. I am excited to get started and dig through
the history of the Burgwin-Wright House!
Let’s
see what we find, shall we?

Alex
Great job Alex! Best wishes!
