Abstract:
Strong storms of the late 1800s and the high winds and flooding of the Great Storm of 1898 drove residents of Shackleford Banks from their homes forever. Survivors migrated to Morehead City, Harkers Island, or Bogue Banks, where some built new homes and continued their community traditions. Some brought their houses with them, floating them from Shackleford Banks on sail skiffs, rafts, and other modes of water transportation. Today some of these moved structures stand in a section of Morehead City called Promise Land. The historic buildings are identified by markers from the Carteret County Historical Association.

Abstract:
The North Carolina Seafood Festival, held each year in Morehead City, grew out of a conversation local fishermen were having in a city restaurant in 1986. Almost twenty years later, the three-day festival is the second largest outdoor festival held in the state, with an attendance of over 150,000. Only Bele Chere of Asheville is larger. Besides its main focus of seafood, the festival promotes the economic impact of the seafood industry, educates the public about seafood, and publicizes the variety of seafood products in the state.

Abstract:
First organized in 1790, Hadnot Creek Primitive Baptist Church is Carteret County’s oldest church society in continuous service. The building, located on Highway 58, was erected in 1815 for the congregation. Constructed from pine and other local tree species, many elements of initial construction can be seen in the Church’s interior. Today, services are only held twice a year to commemorate the first congregation. There is an ongoing effort in the community to restore the grounds and Church to their 1815 condition.

Abstract:
Portsmouth Island was home to sailing captains, fishermen, lighters, hunters, and wrackers in the historic era. This community was dependent on the ocean and island resources. While the residents have long vanished, their stories remain preserved in a number of buildings on the island. The Methodist church and personal cemeteries bear witness to the past lives which created the small community.

Abstract:
Hadnot Primitive Baptist Church, located on Highway 58 in Carteret County, is valuable from a county level, as well as a personal level for many natives of the area. The building, believed to have been erected in 1815, has been a welcoming and unique worship space for members and visitors alike. Among the appealing features associated with Hadnot are the cemetery, unique worship services, and balcony. Such valuable aspects help to offset the challenges this church has faced, such as increasing land values and unanticipated recent area development
