Edenton's unique because it is not a reproduction or a re-creation, everything is real. It played an unique role as the Colonial Capitol of North Carolina -- people and their actions taken here shaped the state and the nation. Penelope Barker created the first political event by women to occur in the colony. George Washington appointed a 38-year old Edentonian to the nation's first Supreme Court. Signers of the Declaration of Independence and the US Constitution lived here and walked our streets. You are encourage to walk where those early leaders walked and hear their stories by visiting Edenton and some nearby historic attractions:
