About Buxton public records
One of the notable landmarks in Buxton is the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse, which stands as the tallest brick lighthouse in the United States at 210 feet. The lighthouse, a historic site, was first lit in 1803 and has been relocated to its current position to protect it from coastal erosion. Another significant landmark is the Buxton Woods Coastal Reserve, which offers a unique ecosystem of maritime forest and wetlands. The community is also home to the neighborhood of Old Lighthouse Beach, known for its scenic views and access to the Atlantic Ocean. Economically, Buxton has historically relied on tourism, particularly due to its proximity to the Cape Hatteras National Seashore, which attracts visitors for its natural beauty and recreational opportunities.
