Historic Edenton State Historic Site is a North Carolina State Historic Site and offers a wide range of tours of the historic district of Edenton, N.C. Our site includes: the Historic Edenton Visitor Center complete with exhibits, orientation film, information, and restrooms; the 1800/1827 James Iredell House, the home of one of the justices of the first U.S. Supreme Court; the 1767 Chowan County Courthouse, the most intact and longest running Colonial American Courthouses; and the 1886 Roanoke River Lighthouse, one of the few remaining screw-pile lighthouses in the United States. We also provide tours of the 1758 Cupola House, the 1736 St. Paul's Episcopal Church, and walking tours on the life of Harriet Jacobs, who was born into slavery in Edenton, but escaped on the Maritime Underground Railroad and became an authour and abolitionist.
