OCRACOKE LIGHTHOUSE—Ocracoke Light the olau operating light station en Caroline du Nord et the second oltage lighthouse still standing in the state. Le Lighthouse, un automaté en 1955. During the summer months when there is US National Park Ranger on duty, visitors may access the base of the lighthouse. Access to the top of the lighthouse is not allowed due to the simple steel spiral staircase g safe only for maintenance activity. However, this is not the original staircase; the original staircase was a wooden step spiral built into the inside of the exterior wall. This was removed during the 1950 s due to rotting to the boards and a lacking necessity for a substantial staircase because of the automation of the light. The wooden stairs were removed and the holes in the all-brick lighthouse were cemented closed.
