Our First stop is a photo opportunity at Q. J. Stephenson's Occoneechee Trapper's Lodge. In the 1950s, out of concern that younger generations were not properly learning traditional naturalist and trapping methods, Stephenson began an artistic endeavor that spanned 50 years of production and manifested itself in the Occoneechee Trapper's Lodge and his self-termed "Prehistoric Art."

The Rea Museum- Built in 1790, the William Rea store is the oldest brink commercial structure in North Carolina. William Rea was a Boston merchant who traded extensively between Murfreesboro and New England. In later years, the building was the home of the Ferguson Implement Company which invented the first peanut picker. The museum features a Gatling Gun in a room containing woodwork salvaged from the Gatling Plantation in Maney’s Neck where the gun’s inventor, Richard Jordan Gatling, was born. There are also artifacts from Native American tribes that lived in this area, and a fascinating exhibit on the Conjure Doctor, Jim Jordan.

Agriculture and Transportation Museum - The agricultural section has two early peanut pickers, one built by the Ferguson Agriculture Implement Company in Murfreesboro. The museum also has an early carriage, which may be the one that brought General Lafayette to Murfreesboro during his visit on Feb. 26, 1825. The most popular exhibit in the museum is the replica of the Gatling Aeroplane, an invention of Henry Gatling. In 1873 Gatling finished his prototype, which was thought to have been 18 feet long with a 14 foot wingspan. James claimed to have completed multiple test flights over the period of several months, however the Gatling Aeroplane was only witnessed in flight once. During that trial, it is said that James launched the plane from a raised platform off his cotton gin, approximately 12 feet high, and flew for about 100 feet before rapidly descending into the ground. While James was only slightly injured, the Gatling Aeroplane was severely damaged.

Lunch stop for the day is Currituck BBQ Company for some Authentic North Carolina BBQ. The Father & Son dream turned into reality in 2006 when the duo opened the restaurant. Driven by great customer service, a friendly & comforting atmosphere, & homemade dishes for the whole family to enjoy. The most popular dishes include slow cooked hickory smoked pork bbq & brisket, homemade Mac n’ cheese, and the best sweet tea this side of the Mason Dixon!

The Wright Brothers National Memorial - They Taught the World to Fly!
Wind, sand, and a dream of flight brought Wilbur and Orville Wright to Kitty Hawk, North Carolina where, after four years of scientific experimentation, they achieved the first successful airplane flights on December 17, 1903. With courage and perseverance, these self-taught engineers relied on teamwork and application of the scientific process. What they achieved changed our world forever.

Bodie Island Light Station - Tucked away between tall pine trees and freshwater marshland, the Bodie Island Light presents anything but a typical lighthouse setting. Though not as well-known as its neighbors, it remains an important part of local history and a favorite spot for visitors. Still every evening, amidst the water towers and blinking radio antennae of modern development, its powerful light beams out across the darkening waves, keeping silent watch over the treacherous waters known as the “Graveyard of the Atlantic.”

Our Hotel for the evening is the Ramada Plaza by Wyndham Nags Heads – Located on the Ocean front this property allows our teams to dig their toes in the sand of the Atlantic Ocean for the evening or to hang out on one of the several decks overlooking the Ocean and relax with a favorite beverage.

Dinner will be served at Miller's Seafood & Steak House. Since 1978, Miller’s Seafood & Steakhouse has been an Outer Banks dining tradition. They blend family values and warm hospitality with a strong commitment to servicing quality breakfast, dinner, and sushi in their Steakhouse & Seafood restaurant.

Housed in a historic 1923 Atlantic Coast Line Train depot, the Port o’ Plymouth Standing in the front and center of the museum’s interpretation is Plymouth’s fascinating Civil War history, which includes the 1864 Battle of Plymouth and the Civil War’s most successful ironclad ship – the CSS Albemarle.

Salty Turtle Beer Company This will serve as a lunch stop and a brewery visit. While Daniel Callender and Dean Kelley are both former United States Marines, the pair didn’t actually meet during their time in the service. A fated neighborhood garage sale where Daniel was serving up his homebrew brought the two together. That was in 2016. Flash forward a few years, add North Carolina-native business partner Zack White, factor in many pints of Coastline Kölsch, and you’ve got what Salty Turtle Beer Company is today. Food trucks will be onsite so you can wait in line for lunch or grab a cold one and get inline when the line dies down.

We will be staying at the Shell Island Resort. Shell Island is the premier resort hotel at Wrightsville Beach, NC providing all oceanfront suites each overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. With an indoor heated and outdoor pool, hot tub, beach volleyball, and miles of white sandy beaches.
