Abstract:

Two elaborate, privately owned hunt clubs, the Currituck Shooting Club at Nags Head and the Whalehead Club at Corolla, are reminders of waterfowl hunting times that began in 1857 and lasted into the 1980s. Both are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The Currituck Club is the oldest active hunt club in North America. The Whalehead Club is now a museum and is owned by Currituck County.
