Tourism
Edgecombe County has many tourism assets that offer a variety of opportunities for leisure and recreation. Dr. David L. Edgell, Director of the Institute for Tourism at East Carolina University, said that “rural travel destinations still offer the most diversity in beauty, experience, culture, heritage, and service.” We have ecotourism including fishing, hunting and boating. We have many heritage and cultural attractions including registered historic properties, the Historic Town of Princeville, the Historic Town of Tarboro, the Veterans Museum, Blount-Bridgers House, and Quigless Clinic just to name a few. We also have scenic landscapes, a sports complex, ATV parks, the new East Carolina Agriculture and Education Center, a public golf course, many great events and festivals, and a vibrant main street corridor. People come from all over to get a taste of Edgecombe County living, and many find it hard to leave.
