SET BESIDE Albemarle Sound, it was established in
1728 as the first colonial capital of North Carolina.
Edenton was also home to many Revolutionary patriots —
as well as the haunt of the infamous pirate Blackbeard.
You’ll want to stroll along our shady streets past
handsome period homes and historic landmarks. The inn is
located at the heart of the Historic District, and the
center of town, with its irresistible boutiques,
antiques shops, and fine restaurants, is just a block
away.
There is so much to do here! You can arrange fishing
and sailing trips at the docks, only two blocks from the
inn. Kayak rentals are available for exploring Edenton
Harbor or Queen Anne Creek. The Visitors Center offers
exhibits and guided walking and trolley tours to
discover the rich biography and architectural diversity
of the Historic District. For an activity filled
daytrip, head for the beaches of the Outer Banks, visit
famous Jockey’s Ridge, or the North Carolina Aquarium.
For something more leisurely, the nearby historic
plantations are a great diversion, and our gentle
country roads are just right for biking. There’s musical
theatre in the evening, as well as the famous Lost
Colony outdoor drama, just a short drive away. We will
be happy to help you plan sightseeing and dining
throughout this beautiful and storied corner of North
Carolina. Come fill your days with a flurry of fun
activities, or simply stay here, unwind, and read a good
book on the porch.
