Coming to the Outer Banks?
If you're coming to the Outer Banks, you need Our Tour Guide! Our Tour
Guide offers a series of 3 self-guided audio tours on CD. Simply play the CD in your car, and we'll take you on a tour that shows you the Outer Banks of today, and the Outer Banks of 20, 50, even 100 years ago. That Outer Banks is still here, if you know where to look. Tour #1 covers the area from the village of Corolla to the Aycock Brown Visitors' Center in Kitty Hawk. What is different about the plumbing in the Whalehead Club? Where on the Outer Banks can you see effects of an earthquake? Were there German spies on the Outer Banks prior to World War 2? Take the tour and you'll know. Points of interest covered on the first tour include the Whalehead Club, the Currituck Beach Lighthouse, the Kill Devil Hills Lifesaving Station, the Wild Horse Sanctuary, the old Navy Bombing Range, and more. Tour #2 picks up at the Visitors' Center and takes you all the way to Oregon Inlet. Why did the Wright Brothers choose to come to the Outer Banks to make their historic flight? If they flew in Kitty Hawk, why is the Wright Brothers National Memorial located in Kill Devil Hills? Just exactly who was Aycock Brown? Take tour #2 and you'll have those answers. Points of interest include the Kitty Hawk Lifesaving Station, the Wright Brothers Memorial, a shipwreck you can see on dry land, and the Bodie Island Lighthouse, among others. Tour #3 covers all of Hatteras Island. How many villages on Hatteras Island have had their names changed over the years? Why? What is a "checkerboard crew"? What were the "Chicamacomico Races"? Where did the Union Army have one of it's first victories in the Civil War? Why are there British sailors buries on Hatteras and Ocracoke Islands? What are some of the examples of the damage caused here by Hurricane Isabel? This tour can help you find out! Points of interest we cover on this tour include the Chicamacomico Lifesaving Station, the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse, the British Cemetery, Buxton Woods Preserve, the old Hatteras Weather Bureau, among others. Each tour is designed to be taken at your own pace. You can complete each tour in a couple of hours, or over the course of a couple of days if you prefer. It's completely up to you.
