Get back to nature and learn about national and local indigenous people at the Frisco Native American Museum and Natural History Center.
Located in Frisco, the year round Museum holds a collection of Native American artifacts from Hatteras Island as well as other American Indian cultures. There are natural history displays and exhibits to explore that include basketry and pottery, and galleries filled with native art thread through the building that includes educational text as well as a dug-out canoe discovered on museum property and items recovered from the site of East Carolina University's archaeological dig at Buxton Village.
In addition to traditional exhibits and tours, the museum's activities include Native American workshops, Scout badge work, school science projects, Native American studies, programs for the visually impaired, senior citizen seminars, and special events such as a Pow Wow and living history weekend. Contact the museum to schedule programs at least two weeks in advance. Weekly summer programs on birding and archeology are included in the admission. Visit the gift store and shop for native crafts.

This year, the Duck Jazz Festival proudly reaches its 16th anniversary, and with it, we unveil our artistic vision:“Duck Grooves: The Sound of Jazz,” is an electrifying celebration of jazz’s dynamic, ever-evolving nature, set against the stunning backdrop of the Currituck Sound. It’s a fusion of past, present, and future, where the timeless traditions of jazz intersect with the vibrancy of new, innovative sounds. Just as the sound of jazz flows and adapts, so too does the landscape of Duck where the rhythm of the music harmonizes with the natural beauty of the water and the surrounding environment.
Perhaps the reason that this area of maritime forest goes unnoticed, (an area which in fact comprises the majority of Frisco Village), is simply because the oceanfront beaches just yards away are too alluring to ignore, and garner the lion's share of vacationers' interest. This is understandable, as when most folks think of an Outer Banks vacation, they envision miles of unspoiled beaches, refreshing ocean waves, and plenty of room to spread out a beach blanket, and Frisco's beaches have all of these attributes in spades.
SEMI-OCEANFRONT Rodanthe — Blue Sea Rd. — Finding that jewel of a vacation hideaway takes patience, but when you come upon EMERALD POINT, the effort is well worth it. With the Mirlo Beach boardwalk access next to the home, you are steps away from the Atlantic ocean as well as the Pamlico Sound within walking distance and provides a stunningly serene backdrop, it’s clear that this home is a true treasure. As soon as you pull up to this seven-bedroom/five- and two-half-bath beauty, you’ll feel yourself melt into the peaceful surroundings. Let the ocean waves lull you into a good nap next to the heated saltwater pool or as you appreciate a calming soak in the 6-person hot tub. A gas grille and a poolside bar you can stock with your favorite refreshments make it painless to quench both hunger and thirst without having to venture inside. But when you do, there’s a kitchenette and game room on the first level, featuring arcade and board games, puzzles, a card table, and DVD library. The laundry room is also located on this level as are two of the home’s bedrooms: a room with a queen bed and one with two single beds that share a full hallway bath.

Also on this level are four more bedrooms including a king master with a full bath and access to the front deck; a king master with access to the back deck; and two queen bedrooms that share a bath. The final bedroom, a king master with access to an ocean-facing deck, is on the top level and features a bath with a two-person shower, dual vanity sink, and walk-in closet. All the bedrooms include ceiling fans and Intelligent TVs. On the top level, accessible by the home’s all-floor elevator, sunlight streams through sea-themed stained-glass windows illuminating an open and airy great room. The sunny living area features comfortable furnishings, a massive Intelligent TV and tasteful décor. Savor preparing your favorite vacation meals in the roomy kitchen featuring dual dishwashers, ovens, and sinks; a coffee maker; and ice maker, and then linger over them at the four-stool breakfast counter, around an eight-seat dining table and another table that seats four.
