Claims To Fame

Edenton, NC

Above, the Rose Buddies commemorative stone, dedicated 9/18/08. We've written many times in this blog about the Rose Buddies. Fred Fearing will be much missed.

Below, the many many pretty scenes we saw today walking around Edenton. Edenton was North Carolina's first capitol and it must have attracted the wealthiest citizens who build wonderful homes and churches. Many of them still exist in pristine condition. We recommend Edenton as a very worthy destination for a weekend trip if you are within range.
