The only historic house in Chapel Hill open to the public. This 19th-century house was owned by a succession of University professors. On the death of Horace Williams, a UNC philosophy professor and the last owner-occupant, the University of North Carolina became the sole owner of the house named for him. Restored in 1974, the house is maintained by the Preservation Society of Chapel Hill as a cultural resource and art exhibition space. Guided tours of historic Franklin Street leave the Horace Williams House each Wed. and Sun at 2 pm. Cost $5. Guided walking tours suspended during entire month of August.
