Where Imagination Runs Free - The Crystal Coast - North Carolina's Southern Outer Banks - (Page 3) Cannon fire still echoes on the ramparts and throughout Fort Macon, a restored fortress that fell to Union forces during the Civil War. Now a 398-acre state park and museum, the Fort brings history alive with reenactments and daily tours of the grounds. All across the area, the heart of the past still beats strong at museums like The History Place in Morehead City and the Core Sound Waterfowl Museum on Harkers Island. At The Maritime Museum in Beaufort, stories and artifacts from the “pirate days” are on display. On The Crystal Coast, history invites you in, telling tales that live in your heart forever. 3
