Bath, Day Two

When we visited Bath on Monday, we learned about George Whitefield and the curse he placed on the town.  This short phrase (above) about him appeared on the historical marker.  It mentions nothing about the curse.  Dan was curious whether or not the video we would see Tuesday about the town of Bath would mention either. Surprisingly, they not only mentioned Whitefield, but his curse on the town as well.  We all got a giggle at the end of the video when it mentioned that while Whitefield's curse that the town "remain small" came true, the residents liked it that way. I guess that's one way to put a good turn on it.  Dan had scheduled a couple historical house tours in Bath after the video.  We toured the houses and checked out the gift shop before leaving the town.

The beautiful view from the Bonner House.  Bath Creek and Back Creek meet at that point of land and run into the Pamlico River.  Riley, Lindsey, Victoria, Elizabeth, Calleigh, Skyeler, and Colin.
