There’s something special about life in a small town, and we’re fortunate to call this one home. Centered around Columbia, Tyrrell County and the waterways of the Albemarle Sound and Scuppernong River, our area offers a slower pace, beautiful natural surroundings and communities where neighbors still know one another.

Whether you’re considering a move to the area or simply getting to know the place you may soon call home, we’ve gathered some of our favorite local places, resources and things to do.
