The free hike, which covers a roughly three-mile loop will start at Ninth and Green streets.“We'll start with the South Ellerbe Creek Nature Area and continue through an old mill village. We'll see an old liquor house, Buck Dean's bungalow, a Sears House and a quiet urban garden in Old West Durham,” says John Schelp, long-time Old West Durham resident and the hike’s narrator.“We'll go down a hidden alley and see where a songwriter for Norah Jones, Lou Rawls and Jefferson Airplane was born. We'll head over to Walltown and hear about Duke's original plans to build here. Then we'll go by Richard Nixon's house in Trinity Heights and continue past the homes of Duke's famous faculty and coaches on Buchanan -- including Cap Card, the father of Duke basketball -- and Wallace Wade, whose bowl games paid for Cameron Indoor Stadium.”No registration is necessary. Parking is available on streets near Ninth and Green and bike racks are nearby. The hike is co-sponsored by Museum of Durham History, Sierra Club and the Old West Durham Neighborhood Association.Meetup for Neighborhoods Hike March 2015, Meetup-Durham"The annual Durham Neighborhoods Hike is a history lesson 
on the hoof, led by John Schelp -- Old West Durham resident, past 
neighborhood-group president, and civic historian... Every year Schelp leads a 3-mile hike around Duke's East 
Campus: the hike includes parts of Old West Durham, 
Watts-Hillandale/Ellerbee Creek, and Trinity Park, with older historic 
blocks and alleys. He stops at historic locations and houses to tell 
stories, crack (historic) jokes, give insights into neighborhood 
changes. This Neighborhoods Hike gives the old town a vibrant  shape you
 can't get anywhere else." (Durham-Meetup group organizer)
