A well-known Wilmington bed and breakfast is currently in the running for a USA TODAY 10Best Readers’ Choice Award.
C. W. Worth House Bed and Breakfast, located at 412 S. Third St., is currently featured among a list of the best 20 bed and breakfasts nationwide.
The Wilmington inn excelled in last year’s competition, taking home first place. One of the draws of the Queen Anne-style home is that visitors can “temporarily feel like a local,” according to the USA TODAY description.

The bed and breakfast originally opened for business in 1985, according to previous StarNews reporting, making it the longest-running bed and breakfast in Wilmington.
