Founded in 1926 on the eastern bank of the Chowan River, about 100 miles northeast of Wilson, Chowan Beach was a thriving African-American resort for decades, drawing family vacationers and legendary chitlin circuit musicians for decades. In this slim book packed with photographs, Frank Stephenson brings to life a favored vacation spot for generations of Wilsonians.

I will check Amazon for this book. I remember going to Chowan Beach with your mom and dad, my uncle Ben and aunt Ruth, Doug and Evelyn Hagans, Rudolph and Sedalia Bridgers
Your mention at the Darden event made me want to read about it!
