NC's Lighthouse Challenge
In Honor of USA 250
ARE YOU READY???
For centuries, lighthouses have guided ships safely along the North Carolina coast, through our inlets, and into our harbors. They were essential to America's growth.
The amazing men and women who maintained these lights, along with nearby surfmen, worked through storms, isolation, and long nights to keep the lights shining and mariners safe. They have a storied place in our history.
To learn more, visit https://www.ourstate.com/nclighthouses/ for wonderful stories by Our State magazine or https://www.outerbankslighthousesociety.org/roanokeriver-p.html for more historic and technical coverage from the Outer Banks Lighthouse Society.
Honor this American legacy of service and safe passage by visiting all 10 NC lighthouses during 2026. You will:
- Be awarded a personalized certificate from Currituck County, NC upon completion.
- Earn a free lighthouse climb.
- Enjoy the experience of a seldom traveled trail.
Register your interest in the challenge with the RSVP button and you'll receive the rules for the challenge and information about each of the lights. There are no obligations to any part of this challenge and your information will not be shared. This is about fun and journey.
