Visit a Local Museum

The Roanoke Adventure Museum is an interactive museum that showcases the historical developments of Roanoke and the surrounding area. Learn about the only all African-American Coast Guard Station by visiting the Pea Island Cook House Museum.
Explore Lighthouses
An unexpected place to learn about this region’s past is at lighthouses. These attractions once helped guide ships and now serve as a reminder of the area’s maritime history. Climb to the top of the Bodie Island Lighthouse in Cape Hatteras National Seashore for breathtaking views. The Cape Hatteras Light Station is one of the most popular attractions in the Outer Banks.

In addition to museums and lighthouses, there are several landmarks that also deserve a spot on your history tour. One is the Wright Brothers National Memorial.
