Hamlet is... home There is something about the gentle breeze as the sun rises over the only Victorian Queen Anne Train Station in North Carolina that makes Hamlet feel like home. Inclusive, welcoming, and diverse, Hamlet offers something unique to all who know and make their home here. Home to commuters who want both an urban career in neighboring towns and a peaceful life in a small-town of their own. Home to retirees looking for a quiet, down-home community to make their second home. And home to born-and-bred natives who know that there is no place finer than Hamlet, North Carolina. From the tens of thousands of patrons who attend the rip-roaring annual Seaboard Festival, to the countless attendees at the enchanting yearly Fourth of July Firework Show, to the droves of festive onlookers at seasonal Christmas festivities, Hamlet is always hopping with excitement and energy.
