In a tribute to victory acres, war bonds, and heroic efforts in battles and at home, a traveling exhibition commemorating the centennial of the U.S. entry into World War I opens at the Chicamacomico Life Saving Station. Complete with 10 informational panels and related artifacts, the centennial exhibit will be here through Labor Day before it continues to travel across North Carolina for the remainder of 2018. Read the full scoop on the NC Museum of History website.

The breeches buoy apparatus drill happens every Thursday between Memorial Day and Labor Day. See how crews in the early days of the lifesaving station implemented equipment in a rescue mission. 

Chicamacomico is pleased to accommodate groups of 20 or more with a speaker presentation on the history of the Chicamacomico Life-Saving site. This has been very popular presentation, and we request you make your reservation at least two weeks in advance.

As part of your paid admission, you can expect to be greeted and given a brief synopsis of the history of the US Life Saving Service and its relation to the station and site. You will be shown a video of the station’s history and given a tour brochure providing an explanation of how to access the five exhibit buildings on site.

When he returned from his explorations, White brought back images he sketched of plants, insects (butterflies, too) and native inhabitants of pre-colonial North Carolina.
