Frisco Native American Museum & Natural History Center

In 1984 Carl Bornfriend came to the Outer Banks for a teaching position. He fell in love with Hatteras Island and purchased a house in Frisco. He began looking for ways to share his significant collection of Native American artifacts, and in 1985, he purchased the small building adjacent to his house. In 1986 Frisco Native American Museum & Natural History Center, a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit organization was born.
Beginning as a small three room building the museum now spans seven galleries, an outdoor trail featuring stories and displays, and a cultural auditorium for special events. Just added this year - A Drum Room! Come in and play a powwow drum, try a rattle or rain stick. Make a video and share it with us.
To celebrate our 40th anniversary six special events are scheduled from June to October. A Moth Night in June, Native Dance in July, August features traditional weapons and foraging lessons, and story telling in September and October. All special events are FREE with Museum Admission.
The museum is open everyday, except Monday, from 10am to 5pm. Admission is $5 for Seniors & kids, $8 for Individuals, and $20 for families (2 adults & up to 4 kids).
