Weekend Wandering in NC – Bath & Washington

Soak in history, nature, and coastal beauty in one of my favorite NC towns. Beaufort County is a fantastic place to spend the day or an entire weekend wandering!

Founded in 1705, Bath is NC’s oldest town with quite a history! Politics, war, an epidemic, and piracy are all part of the rich history of Bath. Goose Creek State Park is home to 1,672 acres of natural coastal beauty including eight miles of trails for outdoor lovers. Washington is the first city in America to be named for General George Washington.

I’d love to share with you our favorite places that we have visited over the years!
