Overview:
The notorious
pirate Blackbeard used to scour
the shoreline of Hampton in

of treasures - have no fear
as they have kept their best
secrets
hidden far from him. Nestled
on scenic Chesapeake Bay, Hampton

charm dating back nearly 400
years.

of NASA and the original training
site of the "Mercury Seven."
