Charm/Downtown Shopping:
A great place to shop in a viable downtown with antique

that special gift for any occasion is a treat.
Enjoying a great lunch in one of our fine restaurants makes

walking and trolley tours from our
Visitor

Romance:
Edenton is home to many fine inns within their historic
district. These inns
make a nice place for couples to enjoy a little R & R as well
as a little romance. History,
wonderful architecture and pretty gardens make the setting
irresistible for leisurely walks, bike rides and little
hand-holding.
