    North Carolina's Great American Treasures: Burgwin-Wright House

    In celebration of America's 250th birthday, the "Burgwin-Wright Presents..." podcast is honoring North Carolina's Great American Treasures, the historic properties saved and supported by The National Society of the Colonial Dames of America in the State of North Carolina. Each month in 2026, the podcast will visit one of these properties to tell its history and explore how the North Carolina Dames became involved in preserving its legacy for future generations. To begin this special series, we are starting at home –– or rather the Dames' headquarters –– with a look at the 20th century history of the Burgwin-Wright House and how the Dames defied the odds to save it from demolition on the brink of World War II. Our returning special guest Christine Lamberton, the museum director for the Burgwin-Wright House and Gardens, shares why the Dames made it their mission to rescue the house and restore it to its colonial glory, and how they faced war, the Great Depression and big corporations to do it.

    Outlander in the Cape Fear: Spies in the Revolution

    Wars were fought on the battlefield, but they were won in the shadows. Spies and counterintelligence efforts on both sides of the American Revolution were a key component of the war, and led to seismic shifts in power as America fought for its independence. Joining the show to talk about the life and legacies of colonial spies is Cheney J. Schopieray, Curator of Manuscripts for the William L. Clements Library at the University of Michigan, which is home to the Sir Henry Clinton Collection. Additional resources mentioned in the episode: 1. For more information about the William L.

    Outlander in the Cape Fear: Two Teeth and A Musket

    As the "Outlander" story moves around the American Colonies during the Revolutionary War, we take a moment to return to the homefront to talk about what Wilmington would have looked like during the war. The town's port made it an invaluable commodity during the conflict, but how did its citizens fare as fighting raged on? What impact did the revolution have on Wilmington's ascension as a jewel in North Carolina's crown? Joining the episode is Jack E. Fryar, a historian and author of the new book, "When the British Came: Revolution in the Cape Fear, 1765-1782." Fryar is the publisher behind Dram Tree Books, the extensive local history catalogue for which can be found at DramTreeBooks.com.

    Outlander in the Cape Fear: Age of the Jacobites

    One of the most formative events in the "Outlander" story happens far from the Cape Fear region back in Scotland when thousands took up arms against the British throne in the Jacobite Rising of 1745. But what brought Scotland to war with its monarch? What did it mean for the average Scot, and how did it impact the American Revolution decades later? This episode, we are joined by Professor Murray Pittock, a historian and author with the University of Glasgow in Scotland to talk about the age of the Jacobites and how that uprising left scars that would be brought to the American Colonies on the eve of its own war.

    Haunted Tales of the Cape Fear: Battleship North Carolina

    Battleships bear witness to the worst side of the human condition. They share in the triumphs of war and bear the scars of defeat in equal measure. It is no wonder that the Battleship North Carolina, the most decorated American vessel from World War II, garners a lot of interest for its ghost stories. But are they true?  Joining the episode to answer that question is Danielle Wallace, the programs director for the Battleship North Carolina.

    Haunted Tales of the Cape Fear: Bellamy Mansion

    When you see an old home from outside its iron gates, your mind makes up stories of what could possibly be hidden behind the front door. In many cases, that air of mystery conjures stories of ghosts and unexplained occurrences. At the Bellamy Mansion, life-long residents just out of reach led locals to wonder if the antebellum home at Fifth and Market Street may have more residents than those among the living. Decades later, those stories persist, but are they true? Joining the episode to talk about the house's history is Leslie Randle Morton, the associate director of the Bellamy Mansion Museum of History and Design Arts.

    Haunted Tales of the Cape Fear: Thalian Hall

    Thalian Hall Center for the Performing Arts has been an icon of Wilmington since it first opened its doors in 1858. From world-class productions on its stage to vitally important work done inside the city hall under the same roof, few structures have been as consequential to Wilmington's history as Thalian Hall. But a century and a half of indelible experiences has also left behind stories of unexplained presences and ghostly helping hands. Joining the episode to talk about this haunted history is Shane Fernando, the CEO of Thalian Hall Center for the Performing Arts.
