Historic Travel Sites
Located on Hatteras Island on the Outer Banks of North Carolina, the Frisco Native American Museum and Natural History Center is a non-profit educational foundation created for the purpose of preserving and sharing Native American artifacts, art, and culture.
Housed in a building with 100 years of history, the Frisco Native American Museum & Natural History Center contains a nationally recognized collection of Native American artifacts, exhibits, and natural history displays.
Galleries filled with native art wind through the facility and include information on Native Americans across the United States as well as artifacts from the first inhabitants of Hatteras Island. Local finds include a dug-out canoe discovered on museum property as well as items recovered from the site of East Carolina University’s archaeological dig at Buxton. The nature trail includes a long house and other examples of early Native American village structures.
In addition to traditional exhibits and tours, the museum’s activities also include Native American workshops, Scout badge work, science projects, natural history programs, Native American studies, programs for the visually impaired, senior citizen seminars, weekly summer programs, and annual events with emphasis on the sharing of cultures and the opportunity to gather on ancestral grounds to participate in educational and fun activities appropriate for all ages.
