Discover the Grandeur of Cupola House

Built in 1758 by Francis Corbin, the Cupola House is a historic gem overlooking Edenton Bay. After facing neglect and near ruin, a dedicated community effort in 1918 led to its preservation by Cupola House Association, Inc. Today, the house stands restored with its formal gardens, a testament to the commitment of those who saved this architectural landmark. Learn About the Historic Location We invite you to immerse yourself in American history through our guided Cupola House tours available every weekend. Experience the elegance of the Georgian architecture and the tales that echo through the halls of this historic landmark.
