Beaufort has seen a lot in its long, colorful life.

This coastal community, established in 1709 and incorporated in 1723, is the thirdoldest town in North Carolina (only Bath and Edenton are older). In the three centuries since its founding, pirates, freed slaves, fishermen, and a host of other travelers have all sought shelter in this quiet corner of Carteret County.

Today, some 4,000 people live there yearround; come summertime, this town swells with folks visiting from across the state and around the world.
