Operated by The Outer Banks Visitors Bureau, the US Weather Bureau Station/ Hatteras Welcome Center provides year round directions and information on attractions and events. The welcome center was built in 1901 and housed the first U.S. Weather Bureau Station, which played a key role in developing the nation's meteorological network. Over the years it has endured some of Mother Nature’s most challenging storms. It was decommissioned in 1946.
Five years ago it opened as the Hatteras Island Welcome Center operated by the Outer Banks Visitors Bureau.
