Great, actual history of what occurred in the area. Sad that so much loss occurred in those days. A definite stop on Carolina Beach

A great little place to get a slice of the local area history including wartime, during the creation of Snow's Cut, and more recent developments. Not a big place, you'd be pressed to spend a whole hour here, but it's a nice stop that I recommend. They also have presentations every month that delve deeper on a specific topic.

This is a small modest local Museum of History of this area. It has been in existence since 1994. The board of directors and its officers and members are dedicated to the preservation of the history of Federal Point.
