Outer Banks History is fascinating, you do not have to be a history buff to appreciate the stories of pirates, shipwrecks and treasure. Not to mention the almost reverent feeling, which comes over you when you stand on the ground, where the first manned flight took place.
Even those who are not into Outer Banks History will have to ponder the fate of those left alone in this new land, only to disappear forever. There is something for everyone in the Outer Banks history. It is easy to see why history is such a predominate attraction in the outer banks; it is as varied as the people who love to visit.
There are several museums. One features the known shipwrecks off the coast, one is dedicated to the lighthouses which have helped to prevent so many more wrecks. There are theatre presentations of the story of the Lost Colony, which bring history to life. The aquarium also has a “museum” of the storms which have changed the outer banks throughout history.
Take some time to look through some history of the Outer Banks so you can see the most important historical sites for yourself.
