Historic Edenton Walking Tour
Explore one of the South's most beautiful colonial towns, just 2.5 miles from the farm.
Historic Edenton is a gem of colonial America, featuring stunning 18th and 19th-century architecture along tree-lined streets. The town served as North Carolina's first colonial capital and played a significant role in American history.
The walking tour takes you past historic homes, the 1767 Chowan County Courthouse, and the beautiful Edenton Bay waterfront. Tours are available by trolley (50-minute narrated tour), guided walking tours from the Visitor Center, or electric boat cruises on the Liber-Tea. The candlelight tours on the second weekend of December are magical.
OUR INSIDER TIP
"Start at the Visitor Center for maps and tour information. The trolley tour is a great overview. Don't miss the candlelight tours in December."
