About the local area
Hertford
The quintessential sleepy river town steeped in history.
With beautiful Victorian and Georgian homes lining a winding narrow road that follows the riverbank and cypress trees draped in Spanish moss standing tall in the brown waters, life has a decidedly relaxed pace here. Hertford is one of the earliest permanent settlements in North Carolina, dating back to the late 1600s, and the countryside around the town pulses with history. The nearby Newbold White House is thought to be the oldest existing structure in the state.
