Historic Bath

Nestled between two coastal creeks, Bath still reflects its history as the province's first incorporated town (1705). The village, once the home of the pirate Blackbeard, features several historic buildings, including the earliest North Carolina church still in continuous use. Tour guides present two houses - the Palmer-Marsh House (ca. 1744) and the Boner House (ca. 1830) - which have been fully restored and furnished. Interpretive exhibits are located in the Van Der Veer House (ca. 1790). Fee
