The Cape Hatteras Weather Bureau/Lighthouse

Recently I went on a trip with some of my friends to the Outer Banks, NC. We stopped at the Cape Hatteras Weather Bureau. According to the National Park Service, the Cape Hatteras Weather Bureau was, "The first U.S. Weather Bureau Station managed by the Army Signal Services on Hatteras Island, established at the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse Keepers' Quarters in 1874, moved to the Hatteras Life-Saving Station on December 1, 1880, and later transferred to a Hatteras Village private residence, known as Styron’s Building, on October 1, 1883." It is such a cute building and very welcoming.







We visited the lighthouse as well.
