The Family Fun Itinerary

Each year families come from near and far to visit Edenton. They discover historic sites, participate in outdoor activities, and celebrate our special events.

Following a car ride, there is no better way to burn off energy than by exploring one of our parks.

  • Elizabeth Vann Moore Park
  • Penelope Barker House Welcome Center & Waterfront
