We arrive at the dock and went to Captain Mark's boat.We told him 2 seniors and my service dog. He told me we would have to wait for any other people that showed up to see if they were alright with my service animal. I told him my dog was a service animal plus I even told him she was a seizure alert dog . I even showed him her tag which I carry on her carrier with her license number and picture. He could also scan it to see all my dog's information. I told him it was against the law what he was doing but he just told me he wasn't going to argue with me.He had it turned around, we should have been allowed on the boat and anyone who was not comfortable with it could choose not to go. He said we had to wait just in case someone was afraid of dogs or had allergies. After he made me feel so uncomfortable all I wanted to do is leave this little town Edenton NC and our beautiful day was destroyed. I would tell anyone thinking of going with this man that is so prejudiced against someone with a handicap to think twice. He's not someone you would want to spend any time around! I will be reporting Captain Mark for an ADA violation so hopefully other individuals with a disability won't have to encounter this like we did.

More than merely a steel and concrete structure, the contemporary Jim "Catfish" Hunter Bridge…read morehonors a local legend and represents Hertford's changing relationship with the Perquimans River. James Augustus "Catfish" Hunter, a native of Perquimans County who became a national celebrity as a Hall of Fame pitcher for the Oakland A's and New York Yankees, is honored by the bridge, which was formally designated in 2015 by the North Carolina Board of Transportation. Hunter, who was well-known for his 1968 perfect game and five World Series victories, had a strong bond with his community until his death from ALS in 1999. The bridge itself avoids Hertford's historic downtown by crossing the Perquimans River with U.S. Highway 17. It was constructed to meet the demands of contemporary traffic, providing a fast path to Elizabeth City and beyond. The Jim "Catfish" Hunter Bridge is a practical structure that is straight, high, and built for efficiency. Its naming was a deliberate act of remembrance. Local officials and residents wanted to ensure that Hunter's legacy wasn't confined to baseball statistics or distant stadiums. By placing his name on a major piece of infrastructure, they embedded his story into the daily rhythm of the region. It's a quiet kind of monument--one that doesn't demand attention but offers it to those who know where to look. [Review 874 of 2025 - 4302 in North Carolina - 24431 overall]

The Barker House in Edenton, North Carolina, is a storied landmark that blends architectural…read moreelegance with deep historical resonance. Built in 1782 for Thomas and Penelope Barker, the home originally stood two blocks north of its current location and began as a modest Federal-style parlor wing and half hall. Penelope Barker is best known for organizing the Edenton Tea Party in 1774, a bold act of protest in which 51 women signed a petition against British taxation--making it one of the earliest political demonstrations by women in America. Unlike the Boston Tea Party, these women signed their names and sent the petition directly to King George III, drawing international attention and criticism from British newspapers. Since relocated (yes, they moved it two blocks), it now serves as Edenton's Welcome Center and the headquarters of the Edenton Historical Commission. Stop in for information about Edenton sights and history. I wasn't staying long here, but I was helped by friendly folks who clearly love their town.

The restrooms are in one building and the Visitor's Center is in a nearby building. Both buildings were clean. A family restroom is available, too. I was immediately greeted upon entering the Visitor's Center and provided with the information I was looking for about Tyrell County. I was pointed in the right direction to get to the boardwalk and downtown, and some places were suggested to stop. I enjoyed the quilts and North Carolina items to view in the Visitor's Center. I could read about the area and its unique ecosystem. The Visitor's Center has travel information for the whole state. I was allowed to stay parked in the parking lot while I went on my walking journey. The tips and insight helped me have an enjoyable stop in Tyrell County. Although many of the businesses I had hoped to visit were not open, I can't fault the Visitor's Center for that. They might be open on my next visit.
