The Outer Banks Visitors Bureau/U.S. Weather Bureau Station is a small, interesting visitor center that offers a glimpse into local history and weather heritage. Housed in a renovated weather station house, it features displays and artifacts related to the town’s past, including the important weather station that operated before modern technology. Visitors can explore two side rooms filled with posters, pictures, pamphlets, and information about the Outer Banks, local attractions, and the history of the area. The center also highlights the significance of the weather station, with exhibits on hurricanes and maritime history. Nearby, visitors can respectfully visit the old town cemetery. The staff is friendly and helpful, making it a pleasant stop that takes about 30 minutes. Overall, it’s a great place for those interested in weather history, local culture, and the story of the Outer Banks, offering a short but meaningful experience.
A lot of pamphlets and information of the area. The attendant was very friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. Really enjoyed listening to him talk of the history of the islands and the weather station. Thanks Mike!! Definitely recommend!

This house was so cute. There is a stamp for those who are interested. One of the rooms has information for the Outer Banks. Two other rooms have artifacts. The weather station has been renovated, but the original staps and pantry are still there. Great short visit!
