Day 2- Edenton, NC

A colonial port town on the coast of North Carolina, Edenton is the second oldest town in the state. Above is the Chowan County Courthouse, on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places and continually in use since 1767. Edenton’s most significant historic moment, now known as the Edenton Tea party occurred in 1774 when 51 women from the town protested England’s Tea Act by boycotting English tea. This is the first known political action by women in the British American colonies. You go girls.
