Abstract:

Legislation passed by the federal government in 2000 opened the way for ownership of around 300 lighthouses to be transferred to non-profit groups or local governments. When the 128-year-old Corolla Lighthouse became available, a struggle for ownership broke out between Outer Banks Conservationists, Inc., headquartered in Dare County, and the county government in Currituck County, where the lighthouse stands.
