Marketing Committee

To promote interest locally, regionally and nationally using the website, social media, media opportunities and other advertising methods. We market Historic Downtown Wilson as a place to call home focusing on the properties we offer and those offered by local realtors. We look for creative ways to spread the word that Wilson has charming and affordable historic homes, an uncomplicated lifestyle, an ideal location, two colleges, the state’s fastest fiber-optic Internet connections available in every home, tree-lined neighborhoods, five historic districts, a vibrant arts community and a roster of companies the envy to many metropolitan areas.

Garden Party Committee

The Annual Garden Party & Art Show is led by our outstanding co-chairs and supported by many members of the Preservation Team.
