Elizabeth City Historic Tours provides a unique opportunity for guests to tour downtown Elizabeth City in style with Carolina Carriages. As guests stroll through the streets on this 30-minute horse and carriage ride, they will learn about the unique architecture and history of the downtown area and the surrounding region from a costumed guide. If guests are looking for some hauntingly scary history, they can reserve a seat on the haunted carriage ride and learn about the city’s little-known mysterious past by carriage lantern light. They will even be invited inside a historic home.

Rides begin at Mariner’s Wharf on Water Street. At times, Carolina Carriages also operates during special events such as the Potato Festival and First Friday Arts Nights. Carolina Carraiges also offers specials to guests staying at the Culpepper Inn, the Grice-Fearing House Bed and Breakfast, the Pond House or the Elizabeth City Bed and Breakfast. Guests can be picked up in old-fashioned luxury and taken on a 20- to 30-minute tour. They can then either be dropped off at on of the waterfront restaurants or back at the inn. Reservations are required at least 24 hours in advance. Carolina Carriages also provides wedding and special event horse and carriage service from Corolla to Hatteras, northeastern North Carolina and Hampton Road, Va. If you are looking for a romantic and old-fashioned horse and carriage ride, call today. There is a $100 minimum for Carolina Carriages to come into town to provide rides if there are no other reservations.

Established in 1948 by Walter and Stelle Gray, Gray’s began as a single store on the beach road in Nags Head, a land mark that has been beautifully transformed into Seagreen Art Gallery. Visitors to the original Gray’s may remember that the family home was located above the store and that Walter Gray had a passion for Big Band music that was often playing on the store speakers, giving shoppers a little swing in their step.

 

Modern-day Gray’s is still family owned and operated by their children Ronnie and Julie Gray, who carry on a legacy of superior customer service and traditional values. Ronnie’s wife Susan is also an important part of the business. “It really was always a family operating as a business rather than a business being run by a family,” explains Ronnie Gray. “When our visitors come in, they are greeted by a warm hello and a ‘Welcome to Gray’s.’ We try to welcome them as if they’re entering our own home”
