The Corolla Schoolhouse, one of many one-room schools that once dotted the Outer Banks, closed over fifty years ago. Through the work of local preservationists, Doug and Sharon Twiddy, the building was restored in 1999. It is now the Corolla Wild Horse Museum and the home base of the Corolla Wild Horse Fund, the nonprofit group that manages the herd.
