Tasting History is an idea that my husband and I had after living on Pleasure Island for four years. In this time, we have learned a lot about the history that is unique to Pleasure Island and enjoyed sharing the food on the island with visiting friends and family. We thought food and history would be a combination for a tour that both locals and tourists would enjoy, and Tasting History was born.
The three main goals of Tasting History are:
- To showcase the best food on Pleasure Island
- To preserve and educate locals and visitors on the origins and history of Pleasure Island
- To continue to grow into other tour specialties as the market allows
Though still in our infancy, Tasting History has celebrated small achievements and milestones that we have set, such as:
- Writing an interesting & accurate history outline; which was completed by local historian Amy Thornton
- Having a tour that includes what we feel are 5 of the top places on the Island to eat
- Providing repeat business for restaurants on the tour
We are currently working on other specialty tours with restaurants in the off-season to provide a variety for locals (prepare to have fun!) as well as exclusive history tours throughout the town for those interested solely in history.
Lastly, we hope someday to reach one of our milestones of giving back to the community by donating or supplying signage to mark historical places and events around Carolina Beach and Kure Beach to preserve the rich history we have on Pleasure Island.
