Accommodation options include historic bed & breakfasts in converted homes with period furnishings and attentive hosts.

Join monthly art walks to see local works showcased amid exposed beams and original machinery. The district hosts regular performances that spotlight Durham's thriving creative community. Small cafes and farm-to-table spots occupy converted mill spaces, with most closing early around 9 PM. You'll find unique accommodations in boutique B&Bs and vacation rentals housed in historic mill worker homes. The compact district is best explored on foot, though you'll want a car to venture to nearby Durham attractions.
