This original area is referred to as the “Historic District.” It bears the original street names, lot numbers, and nearly 50 homes and buildings remain on the National Register of Historic Places, many of them beautifully restored.  From this district, you can walk to the shops, restaurants, galleries and marinas along the waterfront.
