Trolley Tour
Climb aboard Edenton's trolley and take a 45-minute tour of the historic area. Professional interpreters will tell you about the people of Edenton and share stories about the roles they played in our days as a key Colony, how they made Edenton a launching pad for what became the state of North Carolina and the United States. You'll see the Iredell House and learn that its 38-year old owner was selected by George Washington to serve on the new nation's very fist Supreme Court.
You'll hear about the people who lived in the Cupola House, one of American's most prized examples of very early architecture, the historic African-American Churches and St. Paul's Episcopal (recently celebrated its 300th parish anniversary) and how all of the churches of Edenton played a role in defending Edenton during the Civil War by sacrificing their bells.
Riding in the comforts of an enclosed trolley, you'll see many of the area's 22 pre-18th Century homes as well as the 1767 Courthouse, which is still in use.
Following the tour, it is just a short walk to the Barker House, Edenton's living room, where you can learn more about Penelope Barker, the first woman to organize a woman's political event and stroll across the waterfront park to take a look at the Roanoke River Lighthouse, now undergoing major renovations.
Tour begins and ends at the Historic Edenton Visitor Center, 108 N. Broad Street.
