On June 30, I enjoyed visiting
Edgecombe County, North Carolina.
Edgecombe County was formed in 1741, from neighboring
Bertie County, so it's one of the older counties in North Carolina.

I started in
Tarboro, the county seat of Edgecombe County. Although Tarboro isn't the largest city in Edgecombe County (that distinction belongs to
Rocky Mount, which straddles Edgecombe and Nash counties), it's a charming place. I stopped at the Edgecombe County Courthouse, then walked and drove around Tarboro a bit. It's easy to tell there's a lot of history there.
Next, I visited the Edgecombe County town of
Pinetops. Even though it has a population of less than 2,000, I was impressed by little
Pinetops, and would like to explore around there some more. I did stop at a local park, where I tried to find a
geocache, but found a VFW memorial instead. I also stopped by the Pinetops Branch Public Library for a quick photo.
Speaking of photos, my pictures from this adventure have been uploaded on Flickr, and can be found
here.
