Located on the Albemarle Sound, Edenton is the county seat of Chowan County. Serving as North Carolina’s second official capital from 1722 and 1743, this beautiful Inner Banks town is not only significant in North Carolina’s history, but United States history as well. (For a deep dive into North Carolina’s second oldest town, be sure to visit the Historic Edenton State Historic Site!) While history buffs might know Edenton for being the site of the 1774 Edenton Tea Party (one of the first instances of political activism by women in the Thirteen Colonies), this waterfront community also houses a lively and robust arts and music scene. From “vinyl nights” to concerts in a barn, there’s a ton of fun and unique ways to enjoy music in Edenton! Edenton is a part of the Come Hear NC Music Community program, which prepares local governments to identify music assets within their local economy, engage with stakeholders in the music industry, and identify opportunities to expand their local creative economy.
