Students can read for themselves the role the lighthouse has played in North Carolina’s maritime history. We call it the Grand Lady of Lighthouses because of its height. Today this famous symbol of North Carolina stands 2,900 feet from its original 1870 location. Waves threatened to wash away the sand at its base, so it was moved farther in from the shore. Curriculum Applications: 4th & 8th Grade Social Studies
