Abstract:
The Bodie Island Lighthouse has stood on the Outer Banks for 141 years. In all that time it had only been open to the public for a few days in 1988 during the U.S. Lighthouse Service bicentennial celebration. The black-and-white striped-tower later underwent a $5 million restoration, and in October 2013, 300 descendants of the 34 keepers gathered there to share their stories of growing up at the lighthouse.

“A picture is worth a thousand words” comes to life nine-fold in these photos taken in Buxton. The time frame covered ranged from the reign of the model A to the prevalence of cars offering four-wheel drive. Scenic views were of forests, the lighthouse, and local homes. Activities mentioned for then and now noted the enduring value of family reunions and baseball.
