A Self-Guided Tour of Beautiful Trees Developed by the Lady’s Island Garden Club
The Beaufort Self-Guided Tree Walk begins at the entrance to Morrall Park on the corner of Carteret and Craven Streets and continues through the neighborhood known as ‘The Old Point’. When the town of Beaufort was first laid out in the 18th century, the principal streets were Carteret Street and Craven Street. A town square was set aside at that intersection. Each of its four corners was reserved for public use and remained so until well into the 19th century. Morrall Park is all that remains of the original town square.
The self-guided Tree Walk can get a copy small brochure and a modified Historic Beaufort map available at the City Hall on Carteret Street, the City Planning Department in the Carnegie Building on Craven Street, the Beaufort County Library, and The Historic Beaufort Foundation in the Verdier House.
It takes about 1 hour, although you will want to factor in some extra time to enjoy the Spanish moss trees, take photos of the beautiful streets, and stroll leisurely. Recommend giving yourself 2-3 hours.
