HISTORY CENTER

Hatteras Islanders gather around the legendary cattle-beast Old Buck

for a picture to celebrate Old Christmas in this shot taken by Dare

County Tourist Bureau photographer Aycock Brown around 1960.

Residents have made it a tradition to join together on the first

Saturday of the New Year for an oyster shoot and evening dance in

the village of Rodanthe.
