Where it is and parking

City garages, lots and street meters downtown are free from 7 p.m. Friday to 8 a.m. Monday, except during special events, so a Saturday evening tour normally means free parking. Garage locations are on our getting around Durham page.

What to know

What the walk covers, from the company’s listing: the “spooky side” of Durham’s history, from the disgraced sons of tobacco families said to roam their old factories to accident victims said to haunt the places they died and murder victims said to cling to their belongings.
