Original spot of the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse64 viewsNot far away, the lighthouse became endangered by the constant erosion on the banks. They finally moved it off to safety at a cost of billions of dollars. You can easily see the lighthouse from the old spot. Building a new one may have been cheaper but this is an icon of the past.

Roanoke Freedmen's Colony64 viewsDuring the Civil War, Roanoke was a final destination on the underground railroad. If a slave could get to the island, he would be safe and protected by Union forces who won the islands and important shipping lanes in battle. Unfortunately, after prospering here, the islands were given back to the original owners after the war and most of the black people were driven off the island. Some still managed to remain and have generations here.
