In the early 20^th century, the Elizabeth City harbor rivaled Baltimore as one of the major shipping ports on the east coast. In 1900, the Wright brothers were welcomed here on their way to the Outer Banks. One hundred years later, the City of Elizabeth City is now known as “The Harbor of Hospitality”. 

One can do more than smell roses, however, while enjoying the slower pace of life along tree-lined streets. Stroll through the city’s six National Historic Register Districts and experience real-life America set against antebellum homes accented by colorful dogwoods, azaleas and crape-myrtles. And view turn-of-the-century commercial buildings along Main Street, housing specialty shops and restaurants thriving among banks, the county and federal courthouses, post office and library.

The diverse history of the surrounding 13-county Albemarle region is highlighted in the exhibits of the Museum of the Albemarle – including pirates, agriculture and the life-saving operations of the U.S. Coast Guard.
