Restoration Initiative
A collaboration with Hyde County, The State of North Carolina, and NC State University Extension
A Century of History
The County of Hyde, in collaboration with the Mattamuskeet Lodge Society, is partnering with the State of North Carolina to restore Mattamuskeet Lodge to its former glory as a nationally recognized beacon of North Carolina cultural heritage and natural history. After signing a long-term lease agreement with the State, the County of Hyde will complete the final phases of restoring the Lodge into a unique multi-functional event and education center and assume all operational responsibilities through the execution of a sustainable business plan.
Revitalizing the Lodge will provide a much needed economic boon to Hyde County and rural northeastern North Carolina serving as:
- A tourism hub for northeastern North Carolina promoting ecotourism and outdoor recreational, educational, and historical opportunities.
- An event center providing economic stimulus to local businesses, including lodging, caterers, florists, restaurants, gas stations, and shops.
- An environmental, historical, cultural and arts education center for residents and tourists of all ages.
- museum providing an opportunity to explore the past of this historical landmark as the world’s largest pumping station and a hunting lodge of national renown.
