"The Long Road to the Currituck Banks: Creating the Tourism Landscape" details the cultural, political, and economic machinations among the public and private sectors that contributed to the creation of a tourism landscape on the Currituck Outer Banks. The development of the Currituck Banks as a tourism destination demonstrates how ideas about the natural environment and natural spaces have been historically constructed by various actors and linked to American imaginaries of place and identity. For centuries, and as early as the arrival of European colonizers, habitation on the Currituck Banks has been seasonal, fluctuating, and tenuous. After the Civil War, wealthy sportsmen and women from northern states came to the Currituck Sound to hunt waterfowl. In 1875, the federal government commissioned the Currituck Beach Lighthouse and lifesaving stations, which fostered small, permanent communities of people living and working in the region. Until the 1970s, the Currituck Banks remained a remote and undeveloped landscape as hunt club owners from outside the region possessed much of the lands and controlled early conservation narratives in the area. During the early 1970s, developers bought large plots of hunt club properties. They began to market the region to tourists using human constructs of the "frontier" and "wilderness ideal" to secure the region as an elite, leisured retreat. The creation of the tourism landscape on the Currituck Banks depended on a statemandated road. The road is a symbolic representation of the tensions between humans and nature, conservation and development, and human agency to conquer and control the natural environment. As my research demonstrates, plans to develop the Currituck Banks circumvented coastal preservation policies enacted during the 1970s as economic freedoms associated with land use patterns and private property trumped ecological preservation in favor of economic development. Public sector politics and private sector investors-primarily from out-of-state speculators and local elites-contributed to the arguments for the eventual opening of the road to the public in 1984. Creating the Currituck Banks tourism landscape also required cultivated ideas about identity and heritage; stories of place, history, and culture; and values and meanings about cultural and natural resources and perceptions about their appropriate management. Stories told about the Currituck Banks reflect recent, invented stories tied to American ideals of private property and land-use patterns during the nineteenth century. The cultural landscape reveals that aspects of Currituck's maritime history, natural wildlife heritage, and hunt club heritage were negotiated and constructed to promote a sense of place on the Currituck Banks and a shared regional and community identity among disparate groups including, residents, non-resident property owners, and vacationers. I focus on the narratives of regional heritage, historic preservation, and the containment of "wilderness ideals" presented in interpretative materials and rhetoric at the Historic Corolla Park and by the Corolla Wild Horse Fund. As I argue, the debates about controlling the heritage narratives and natural cultural resources focus on constructs of public and private, "insider" and "outsider," and citizen and private entities. Key actors emphasized aspects of heritage and history, under the guise of regional identity, to enhance their power for "ownership" and management of these cultural resources.
