Barker House, Edenton

If you come to Edenton, you have to go here and do the historical tour of the town in the old trolley bus. The tour guides were so informative, fun, and sassy the entire time that it was legit the best tour I have ever been on.

Twenty one other members of my seniors club and myself cuz it's real to Edenton North Carolina where we started our discoveries oh this is dork town at the Penelope Barker House which is an absolutely wonderful step back into history as well a beautiful site into today's reality. First there are so many items about the town's history placed in such a perfect way on the antique tables including items that you can pick up and read as you sit in any number of chairs or couches available. Or if it strikes your fancy you can go out on the second floor porch and sit in a rocker and look out over Edenton Bay. When I was there it was a beautiful March day and the waters were calm and the view incredible. There are staff there to answer all of your questions about Eatonton and the numerous historic sites in the lovely town. The Penelope Barker House is the Welcome Center and starting point for the Trolley Tour through this small town. It's a little over an hour long and the lovely ride includes a great deal of information about times past as you view the various buildings, lighthouse, homes, library, businesses and other interesting places. I highly recommend a visit to the small but historic town of Edenton North Carolina and a starting point of the Penelope Barker House. Be sure not to miss the Trolley Tour.
