PRICES CREEK LIGHTHOUSE
I have to be honest, the Prices Creek Lighthouse was not as impressive as most and since it is located on private property, you have to see it by boat. So, be sure you have a beautiful day and...you like boats! Built in 1849, this Lighthouse was never again lit after the Civil War. It only stood twenty feet but was one of the seven lighthouses that lit the way for sailors along the North Carolina Coast.
During the Civil War, it was used as a confederate Station and although the other lighthouses were destroyed when the confederates lost control over the rivers, this one was spared. Going to see this little light is not easy.
Since the lighthouse is on private property, it makes it difficult to get up close.
So, if you really want to see it, your going to have to see it from the water!
