 Corolla is the home of many North Carolina
cultural and historical treasures. From the famed
Corolla Wild Horses to the restored nineteenth
century
Currituck Hunt Club and the
Whalehead Club, Corolla, North Carolina is
steeped in active, living tradition. The Whalehead
Club, a 23,000 square foot mansion, often called the
Crown Jewel of the Outer Banks, was originally built
in 1920 by Edward Knight, Jr. for his wife who had
been denied membership in existing clubs. The
Whalehead Club has been utilized through the years
by the U.S. Coast Guard, the Corolla Academy,
Atlantic Research and is now undergoing a $5,600,000
restoration as the home of the Currituck Wildlife
Museum. A portion of North Carolina's natural
barrier islands separating the eastern shore of
Currituck Sound from the Atlantic Ocean, Corolla is
also the home of the 163' tall red brick
Currituck Beach Lighthouse. The Currituck Beach
Lighthouse was made in 1865 from more than one
million bricks, with 214 steps to the top. This was
the last lighthouse to be built on the North
Carolina Coast. Tours of the Lighthouse frequently
include the newly restored Corolla Lighthouse
Keeper's House.
Corolla's population
swells from 1,500 in the winter to over 100,000 in
the summer months, attesting to this area's rich
attractions. Other helpful Links include
Corolla, Into the Present,
North Carolina Bed & Breakfasts and Inns, and
Corolla, Currituck's Northern Outer Banks. |
