"Burgwin-Wright Presents... Outlander in the Cape Fear" explores the history of Colonial North Carolina through its depiction in the book and TV series "Outlander."

On this week's episode, we take a trip to New Bern to get a peek at life of Royal Governor William Tryon, a complicated man who granted Jamie and Claire Fraser a new chapter in North Carolina in 1767. In real life, he was a controversial governor who stirred tensions in the colony on the eve of the American Revolution and built himself a palace that nearly ignited an early start to the war.

This week's guest is Susan Griffin, a historical interpreter for Tryon Palace in New Bern and the co-creator of the state historic site's "Outlander"-themed tour.

This podcast is produced by Burgwin-Wright House and Gardens, Wilmington's largest and oldest historic site. For more information about the Burgwin-Wright House, visit BurgwinWrightHouse.com.
