Page 6-C Events Set For Symposium By Anne Schenck The highlight of events scheduled this spring for Eastern North Carolina will be the Eden ton Symposium —two days of tours, lec tures, and entertainments concerning the history and architecture of this progressive colonial town. Settled in 1658 near the Chowan River on Albemarle Sound, “ye towne on Queen Anne’s creek” was char tered in 1722 and named “Edenton” at the death of royal governor, Charles Eden. This small group of wooden buildings and houses quickly became a major shipping port and capitol of colonial North Carolina. Edenton was a center of revolutionary activity in the southern colonies. It was the home of a number of great patriots, including Secretary of the Navy, Joseph Hewes; Supreme Court Justice, James Iredell; and eminent statesman and scholar, Samuel Johnston. Edenton was the scene of the first incident of rebellion by women in colonial America. It was a favorite haunt of Blackbeard, the pirate, and a major supply port for General Washington’s northern armies. It was a town that prospered during the nineteenth century and remained essentially unharmed by Union troops in the Civil War. Edenton was, and is today, a place of unusual charm and beauty, especially in the spring. On Thursday and Friday, April 6th and 7th, nine distinguished speakers will gather at the Municipal Building on Edenton Bay to present a series of lectures about the history, ar chitecture, restoration, and furnishings of Edenton.
