ROW'S MISSION STATEMENT
 
ROW is an all-volunteer, membership-based, non-profit neighborhood organization of people living in the Historic Districts covering the oldest parts of the City of Wilmington, North Carolina -- the area between Red Cross and Queen Streets, from the Cape Fear River to Eighth Street. 
 
ROW brings people together to build neighborliness and work together for historic preservation and improvement of the quality of life in the Historic Districts.
 
 
 
Special Events
 
Back Door Kitchen Tour 2024 - another successful year
 
The Back Door Kitchen Tour was held on Saturday, Oct 12 - a beautiful Fall day.  We had over 600 people tour the nine homes in the downtown historic district.  With over 100 volunteer docents, it was an effort supported by and enjoyed by the community. 
 
As in past years, the funds raised through Back Door Kitchen Tour enable the Residents of Old Wilmington (ROW) to support the downtown community through grants in the areas of historic preservation, social impact, beautification and community programs.  In just the past two years, ROW will have given out roughly $64,000 in grants.   If you know of an organization that fits in these categories and that could benefit from a grant, please let us know or go to ROWilmington.org and scroll down to the Grants section for criteria and applications.
 
A special thanks to the BDKT committee for 2024 – Eileen Hubler, Caitlin Sims, Trisha McGarry and Maria Vargas – for all your work and creativity to make this year’s Tour a success.
