Some crabby statues!

We took a trip to Bath and Washington, NC. Bath is North Carolina’s first town, founded in 1705. Being by the river, it also became the state’s first port. Founded in 1776, the town of Washington, NC, was the first city in America to be named for General George Washington. Because of this, the city is still occasionally referred to as “Original Washington.” In 2006 the city of Washington funded an outdoor art project called Crabs On The Move. Large fiberglass crabs were installed throughout the city. Most have been relocated but six can still be found downtown on various corners, principally along Main Street. We also found one in Bath and two in Bellhaven.
