Abstract:
Brinson recalls her first visit to Lion Tamer’s Camp in Salter Path, ca. 1934. As Salter Path had no tourist infrastructure, the family used a small vernacular craft to travel over to the banks. Other residents did have cars and could access Morehead City at low tide. The village of Salter Path itself consisted of a few properties with small, one story clapboard houses, and their gardens. The village post office, situated in the front room of a local resident, was a local meeting place.

Abstract:
While a Methodist chapel pre-dated the establishment of Morehead City, it was razed during the Civil War. The first Methodist Episcopal Church was built in 1884 to replace the chapel. Throughout the 19th and 20th centuries, the congregation grew and required further infrastructure including a meeting room, kitchen, and classrooms. In 1960, the educational building was again expanded with the addition of a new wing. The congregation celebrated its 200th anniversary in January 1998 and continues to thrive in Morehead City.

Abstract:
In 2000, the Carteret County Historical Society purchased a new property in Morehead City. Built during the 1950s, the structure had been a Colonial Store, grocery chain, and furniture store prior to the Society’s acquisition. The property history, however, extends back to the early 1900s. First used as a residential plot, the associated house belonged to G. L. Arthur and his family. Arthur, a local fish dealer, ran a fish house on Bogue Sound. Two of his children became teachers at the local school.
