The Places That Were

Picture
Over the years, places on the island have come and gone. But it sure is fun to remember them and all the good
times had when they were still here. In May of 2018, a post was made to our Facebook group page, asking  the
names of businesses and such that used to be on the island but no longer exist. What a response that question
received. It also had my mind's wheel turning. There needed to be a page dedicated to those places.
So here we are...

The Places That Were
A Mapping & Remembrance Project

Hatteras Island Archives, has begun a project to map and tell the histories of the people, businesses, and homesteads, that were once here. We will conduct a series of "get togethers", one village at a time. So, check back often for announcements of when and where, these meetings will take place. It is so very important for the older generation of our island to attend. Please help spread the word to them and if they need assistance in attending the "get togethers", just let us know by using the "Contact" form in the navigational menu. And if they are home bound but would still like to be a part of this wonderful project, we can come to them. Let's make this happen !

Next Meeting Will Be...
Date not set as of yet.
To be announced !

Do you remember any that aren't listed ?
Do you have photos to share ?
Just use the "Contact" form in the menu to let me know.
