Heritage Trails Website Promotes Regional History, Culture, Recreation, and Cuisine

Saltwater Connections has announced an opportunity for public sites and commercial businesses located in the 21 communities along the Outer Banks National Scenic Byway to be included on the Outer Banks Heritage Trails website (www.outerbankstrails.org).

There is no fee to be listed on the website, but proprietors need to complete a short application describing how their businesses promote the environmental uniqueness, traditional work and craft skills, local seafood, or community history and heritage of the region. 

The application is available on the website.  Applications are being reviewed by a 6 person committee representing Down East, Ocracoke, and Hatteras Island communities.

The Outer Banks Heritage Trails website currently features five trails:  Traditions, Trades and Treasures, a community heritage trail; Land, Sea and Lighthouses, a maritime history trail; Marsh, Sound and Maritime Forest, an outdoor recreation trail; From Dock to Table, a local seafood trail; and the Down East Paddle Trail.
