Abstract:
The Currituck Heritage Park, located in Corolla, is a thirty-nine-acre park consisting of the Whalehead Club, the Currituck Beach Lighthouse, and the newly completed Outer Banks Center for Wildlife Education. Visitors to the center learn about the unique Currituck region through indoor exhibits, including twenty-five large scale models of traditional boats used in the region, life-size migratory waterfowl, and 250 hand-carved decoys valued at $1.5 million. Outdoor activities include classes on the state's coastal wildlife, habitat, people, and culture.
