From the Corolla Education Foundation:
On Thursday, May 22nd the students at Corolla’s Water’s Edge Village School hosted a 4th grade class visiting from the Woodlawn School in Mooresville, NC for an archeological dig at the Currituck Beach Lighthouse. The sand pit is the spot where the Whalehead Club normally hosts its summer family camp, Frogsodders, in cooperation with the Coastal Studies Institute. Volunteers from Gramercy Christian School, on their senior class service project, were on site to assist with the dig. Half of the visiting student took a guided history walk of the Corolla Village with Ann Sensibaugh, the Education Coordinator for Whalehead in Historic Corolla while the other half stayed on site for a lesson on archeology. The pit is home to a wooden ship skeleton, an anchor, plus wooden and pottery pieces.
