A Waterfront Village with Southern Grace and Colonial History

Located on Albemarle Sound’s Edenton Bay, our charming village, established in 1712, features nearly three centuries of outstanding architecture, viewed behind tree-lined sidewalks and along waterfront vistas.

Jacobean, Georgian, Federal, Greek Revival, and Victorian examples make this town a natural for its two National Historic Landmarks and numerous listings on the National Register of Historic Places.

Edenton, North Carolina, is known for its lively downtown with its unique shops, eateries, and other businesses serving residents and visitors alike. An active calendar of events covers outdoor recreation, including sailing, paddling, biking and baseball. Cultural events are plentiful - art exhibits, plays, and rare history treats such as a Bill of Rights Tour. Seasonal festivals are even more picturesque set against the remarkable backdrop of this first Colonial capital.
