Abstract:

The new Museum of the Albemarle seeks to convey and instill the customs and values of the people who settled and sustained the Albemarle region. The four-story 50,000-square-foot building draws upon the historic Outer Banks United States Life Saving Service buildings for its design. The museum began in 1967, and the new building opened in April 2006. Lea discusses the design of the building, the people who made it happen, and the exhibits.
