Abstract:
With the same ability as places like Thomas Episcopal Church, Bath, to connect past and present is Wildacres. Started as a writers and artists’ summer resort by author Thomas Dixon, it started to come full circle, purpose wise, through its purchase during the Depression by Charlotte’s Blumenthal family. Initially a religious retreat site, Wildacres serves as a haven for musicians, who offer free concerts open to the local community.

Abstract:
How historic Bath earned its title as a national historic district: by being the colonial capital and the first incorporated town in the state. This small town, made up of 231 denizens, earned its popularity through shops such as The Tu Da Shoppe and Pirate’s Treasure. Playing a greater role, though, was many and varied displays of southern hospitality.
