Absolutely the best place I’ve been in the Outer Banks and it’s not close! The ladies that run this place and keep the history alive are amazing and charming and know their stuff!! They’ve lived it, they’ve learned it, and they are the most fun to talk to! Recommend coming here whether you’re passing through or you live here, you’re never too young or old to learn and have a great time. This place made my trip!
Aug 5, 2026 · Google ReviewOur guide was an extremely knowledgeable older gentleman whose sister attended the school at one point. It was great hearing about the beautiful history of the individuals who helped built the school, taught there and attended. My husband and I had a great time! It was an unexpected visit but one I won't forget!

Apr 27, 2026 · Google ReviewBeen traveling down to the OBX for years. Been wanting to stop but never got around to it. Glad I finally was able to stop and spend sometime appreciating the history of the school.
Apr 4, 2026 · Google ReviewA great stop for those with a passion for history. The hosts were very sweet. The tour is at your pace and self guided. It takes 15 to 20 minutes to enjoy the school. It's very informative and a great example of preservation.
