Historic Manteo is so beautiful! Even if you don't go for the Walking Tour with a guide, take a walk around on your own.

Join Manteo's retired Police Chief Francis D'Ambra for an evening walking tour through the Historic Waterfront of Old Manteo for an entertaining mix of the many "firsts", lore, tales, and history that make Dare County "The Land of Beginnings".

Explore 400+ years of living history as the Chief highlights stories from The Lost Colony, Pirates, The Underground Railroad, The Wright Brothers, and the modern era.

The Christmas Shop is a must see! Open all year and you will be in town just before Christmas! They have something for everyone!

Discover an extensive selection that includes unique gifts, Christmas ornaments, exquisite decorations, locally made candies, fine wines, gourmet foods, artisanal jewelry, captivating local artwork and much more!
