This was another surprising small town that is steeped in history that we happened upon whilst driving north on the backgrounds. We were headed from New Bern to somewhere in the Virginia Beach area and stopped here for lunch. Well, I must admit I was pleasantly surprised. And it was the first Washington in the United States too – founded in 1776 – the same year the colonies made declaration of their independence from Britain.
The waterfront on the river in downtown Washington, NC, is very nice, filled with boats and has a marina and beautiful walkway.
It is a nice small town on the Pamlico River and there is a nice municipal marina along the waterfront with restrooms and a small place for snacks. The waterfront appears to have been recently worked on with a nice sidewalk and plenty of places to sit. It appears to be a nice place for events, perhaps an art show, while still driving people into the downtown for food and drink. It is quite possibly what Washington already does.
The Main Street in downtown Washington NC has many historic commercial buildings – many of which are occupied.
