An essential part of Twiddy & Company’s legacy has been the preservation of local Outer Banks history. It’s in that spirit we’re excited to share Icons of the Outer Banks, a mini-documentary series that tells the stories of the fishermen, historians, lifesavers, and trailblazers who have played a significant role in shaping the area’s past, present, and future.
“From Walter Raleigh to the Wright Brothers, the Outer Banks was built on the shoulders of visionary men and women who worked tirelessly and, in many cases, sacrificed much to make this area a place locals love to call home and vacationers from around the world visit year-after-year,” said Clark Twiddy, president of Twiddy & Company. “We are proud to share this important documentary series that illuminates and celebrates these individuals who’ve had such an enormous impact on the area’s history and identity.”
Each Icons of the OBX story is shared by historians, friends, family members, and in some cases, the icons themselves.
