Abstract:

"No trip to Washington would be complete without shopping and exploring the many unique shops in the historic downtown area. Washington was the first town named after George Washington in 1776 and was one of the significant seaports during the Revolutionary War." A central attraction is the Turnage Theater, built in 1910. In 1928, it was one of the first theaters in Eastern North Carolina to offer sound with motion pictures.
