Want the inside scoop on the historic homes in downtown Wilmington? Enjoy sharing interesting facts with others? Then you’d make the perfect docent! The Candlelight Tour is a self-guided tour through a selection of historic homes and other sites in downtown Wilmington. Docents are stationed at tour sites in two-hour shifts to act as guides for visitors. They are supplied with information on the site’s history from LCFHS and share it with visitors. In addition, docents receive a free, complimentary ticket to the event (a $50 value!) so they can take the tour themselves after their shift. They are also invited to the exclusive Candlelight Tour Social after the event. Interested? Email info@latimerhouse.org for more details. We look forward to hearing from you!

Are you an excellent communicator with strong organizational skills? Then Candlelight Tour Site Ambassador would be the ideal role for you!

It's the biggest fundraising event of the year for LCFHS and has been a holiday season staple for over 50 years. Site Ambassadors act as the liaison between the homeowner/site contact, LCFHS, and docents. They assist the homeowner/site contact in tour preparation and schedule event docents. They serve a more "behind-the-scenes" role yet are integral to the success of the event. Site Ambassadors receive a free, complimentary ticket (a $50 value!) to the Candlelight Tour and an invitation to the exclusive Candlelight Tour Social. Interested? Email info@latimerhouse.org for more details. We look forward to hearing from you!
