The Currituck Beach Lighthouse and Outer Banks Conservationists are offering free climbs of the lighthouse on Saturday, March 14, 2020 – the first day of the 2020 Season!
Come join the fun any time between 9 am to 5 pm on Saturday, March 14. A gentled mustang from the Corolla Wild Horse Fund will be on site from 10 am to 1 pm (horse mood and weather dependent).
The Currituck Beach Lighthouse – still a working aid to navigation – was built in 1875 to fill the remaining “dark space” on the North Carolina coast. Open to the public since 1990, the tower will be open every day in season (weather permitting) 9 am to 5 pm through December 1.
Come enjoy the beautiful grounds, the 220 steps to the top, and the panoramic view of the northern Outer Banks. The smaller Victorian stick style building is the Museum Shop and is open to the public.
This winter the International Chimney Corporation (ICC Commonwealth) will be staying on site to work on removing and recasting the cornice of the lighthouse roof!
Children of all ages welcome to this event or any time. Children 7 and under must have constant adult supervision.
About 800 people are expected at this event, so if you like the idea of a reduced rate climb (it’s usually $10 a climb), consider a season’s pass and come as often as you like any other day during the season! https://obcinc.org/season-passes/
