Abstract:
Beaches on the Outer Banks are among the finest on the East Coast. Vacationers on the way there often stop to enjoy the rich colonial-era heritage in towns, including Manteo, Hertford, and Edenton. Bivins discusses some of newer attractions opening in the region -- Halifax County's Roanoke Canal Museum & Trail Project in Weldon; the new home of the Museum of the Albemarle in Elizabeth City; and the North Carolina Civil War Trails Campaign in Chowan County.
