Outlander North Carolina

Wilmington, North Carolina Then and Now – An Outlander Fan’s Photo Essay

November 10, 2018

This past year, I had the pleasure of visiting Historic Downtown Wilmington, North Carolina, and cruising down the Cape Fear River not once but twice. My husband thought I did it because I hadn’t visited there in years. LOL!  You all know what the real truth is, right?  Ah, yeah, the truth is that I really visited because of Outlander. From reading the books, I knew that Jamie & Claire and the rest of the gang would find themselves in Wilmington in Season 4 and I wanted to see it through a different lens – the Outlander lens.  So, now that you’ve seen the portrayal of Wilmington on screen, let’s take a look at Historic Wilmington and the lower Cape Fear River today through this photo essay from me, an obsessed and history-crazed Outlander fan, who also is NOT a professional photographer!  You can click on each image to see it larger. Enjoy!

Have you ever visited Wilmington? What did you like the most? Compared to how Wilmington was portrayed on the show, what do you think?
