During your visit to the Outer Banks, North Carolina, specifically, Hatteras Island, make the time to stop at the historic sunny yellow building not far from the Ferry to Ocracoke, the U.S. Weather Bureau Station, and now the area’s Visitor Bureau. Wouldn’t it be nice to know the weather before you go? Well, on this day we knew we were still dealing with a nor’easter. Our horseback ride on the beach was cancelled due to downed trees and telephone and internet disruption, but the flood waters had receded from the roads.
The name “Hatterask” was first marked on an English map in 1585 honoring the Hatterask Native Americans who lived on the barrier island during England’s initial forays into North American colonization.
Built in 1901, this building contains eight rooms on two floors, with a view on the roof where current National Park Rangers can conduct star-gazing events. At the time, it was occupied by the weatherman’s family.
