MARITIME HERITAGE SERIES: The Cape Lookout Lighthouse

May 2 @ 11:00 am - 12:00 pm

Education Curator Benjamin Wunderly will talk about the history of the Cape Lookout lighthouse, an iconic landmark of Carteret County. The presentation will cover both lighthouse structures at Cape Lookout, the extant 1812 tower, and the still standing 1859 tower. Many images of the lighthouse will be shared during the presentation. Come learn some lesser-known facts about the ‘Diamond’ tower.

The program is part of our Maritime Heritage Series, informal lectures held in the museum auditorium and focused on North Carolina’s rich maritime history, coastal environment, and culture. Admission is free, and registration is not required.
