\u201cI think we all reach that point where we think, \u2018what can I do on this planet?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n <\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Meghan Agresto leads the way up the winding metal staircase, 220 steps to the top of the Currituck Beach Lighthouse in Corolla, North Carolina. Her dog Maggie \u2014 a constant companion and junior lighthouse keeper of sorts \u2014 trails closely behind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Agresto pushes open a squeaky metal door that reveals a circular balcony and an expansive, bird\u2019s-eye view of Currituck Sound, the Atlantic Ocean, and the northern Outer Banks. It\u2019s gusty at 162 feet, as sunlight breaks through the clouds and twinkles off the sound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Agresto has been the lighthouse keeper, along with partner Luis Garcia, for 20 years. Currituck Beach Lighthouse is the only North Carolina lighthouse with an acting keeper and family, and the duo is among the longest-serving keepers in the tower\u2019s history. Agresto has climbed these same steps countless times, often beginning her morning in solitude by climbing to the top. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The view never gets old. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI love it every time,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Circuitous Path<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Just like the twisty staircase to the top, Agresto has traveled a circuitous path to get here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The simple question of \u201cwhere did you grow up?\u201d is not so simple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a lot,\u201d she said, laughing. \u201cI was born to an Italian, New York-raised dad and a Rhode Island Irish mom in Ohio, because my dad had received his Ph.D., and he took a job at Kenyon College.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Agresto moved to Chapel Hill for pre-K and elementary school, when her dad, John, took a job at the National Humanities Center in Research Triangle Park. Meanwhile her mom, Catherine, completed her library science degree at Carolina in 1982.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The family next moved to Washington, D.C., and Santa Fe, New Mexico. Agresto enrolled at Carolina in 1992, then left a year later to spend time abroad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI went to Greece for a year to learn modern Greek, because I had declared myself a classics major,\u201d she said. \u201cI loved all of my classics professors. I started taking Latin in sixth grade in Catholic school in D.C., and it all made sense to me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Years later, she would make her way back to Greece, this time on a Fulbright Scholarship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>
Maggie, “junior lighthouse keeper.”<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The adventure-hungry Agresto came back to Carolina for her sophomore year. She was a member of the rowing team and spent her junior year in Spain with the UNC in Sevilla Program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSomeone asked me the other day, \u2018if you had a superpower, what would it be?\u2019\u201d said Agresto, who speaks Spanish fluently. \u201cAnd I said, \u2018a language acquisition superpower.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She graduated Phi Beta Kappa in 1997 with a classics major, and after graduation, moved to Alaska for the summer to work in Denali National Park. Eventually, Agresto found her way back to Chapel Hill and back to school, graduating with a master\u2019s degree in social work in 2005. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was while working at the Family Violence Prevention Center in Chapel Hill with her friend Jenn Barr that Agresto\u2019s life was about to change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Barr had left the center to take a job as lighthouse keeper at the Currituck Beach Lighthouse, which had been managed by the nonprofit Outer Banks Conservationists since 1980. Two years later, Barr became pregnant, and she and her husband decided they didn\u2019t want to raise a family in such a remote place. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Corolla, the northern tip of the Outer Banks, the paved two-lane N.C. Highway 12 ends in sand. Four-wheel-drive travelers can continue the \u201chighway\u201d on shoreline about 11 miles to the Virginia state line, where they\u2019ll often spot Corolla wild horses along the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>
When the Currituck Beach Lighthouse came into service in 1875, it illuminated the last \u201cdark space\u201d on the East Coast. Its unpainted red brick \u201cday marker\u201d distinguished it from painted, patterned lighthouses.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

When the lighthouse job became available, Agresto jumped at the chance to make her pitch to the nonprofit board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt was a combination of everything I loved, and I knew I would fit extremely well in this world,\u201d she said. \u201cI argued that the pairing of my two Carolina degrees made me the perfect fit for a preservation\/history\/humanities\/people job on the Outer Banks.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to Love About a Lighthouse<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Until the lighthouse came into service on December 1, 1875, Currituck Beach was the last \u201cdark space\u201d to be illuminated on the East Coast. Its unpainted red brick \u201cday marker\u201d distinguished it from other painted, patterned lighthouses. Its first-order Fresnel lens \u2014 one of only a few in the United States still in use \u2014 shines for 18 nautical miles with a \u201cnight marker\u201d of three seconds on, 17 seconds off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Agresto has been writing a book about the history of the lighthouse, off and on, over the last two decades. She has made several research trips to the National Archives in Washington. As site manager, she takes care of the lighthouse, hires and trains tour guides, maintains the historic property, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>
Agresto (here, where visitors queue to climb the lighthouse steps) also helped found Corolla\u2019s Water\u2019s Edge Village School and now serves as president of its board of directors.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Why is the public so captivated with lighthouses? Agresto\u2019s face lights up at the question.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In her cozy storehouse-building-turned-office, Agresto nurses a mug of hot brew from The Kind Cup, a nearby coffee shop. She scrolls through a long list she\u2019s been keeping on her phone, Maggie resting at her feet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m so glad you asked, because there are so many ways to think about this,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are just a few, from Agresto\u2019s list:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No two lighthouses are alike.
Like the stars, they are steadfast.
They are harbors of solitude.
They are off the beaten path.
They can endure day-to-day hardships.
They give you that bird\u2019s-eye view.
They are a comfort in the dark.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Agresto normally talks a mile a minute, maybe more like 10 miles a minute. Her voice is forever raspy (think of greeting about 80,000 climbers a year, including the nearly 70 different presentations she and docents will give to school groups this spring.) But she stops to show off a picture on her phone that she took inside the lighthouse that morning, with beams of light bouncing off the brick walls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>
In Corolla, the two-lane N.C. Highway 12 ends in sand, but four-wheel-drive travelers can continue by shoreline, often spotting wild horses.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLook how cool the light is!\u201d she exclaimed. \u201cWhen I visited Jenn when she was the lighthouse keeper, I couldn\u2019t imagine that she got to climb this every day. There\u2019s a feeling that you get \u2014 it\u2019s amazing. People who visit talk about the view, but for me, it\u2019s the beauty of the interior, too.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Agresto is planning a 150th anniversary celebration of the lighthouse for the end of this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Light in the Community<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Just like the lighthouse itself, Agresto has been a beacon of steadfast light in her community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She moved to Corolla with a toddler when she first took the job as lighthouse keeper; another son would come later. She raised Paolo and Benicio \u2014 now grown \u2014 in a house right on the property, with 39 acres of sand and sound as their playground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the boys were young, Corolla had no school of its own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI talked to people who lived here, and their kids were being put on a bus at 5:30 a.m. to go to Jarvisburg (about 35 miles away),\u201d she said. \u201cI didn\u2019t want them to be on a bus for three to four hours a day. I just thought that was crazy.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>
The view from atop the lighthouse stretches even farther than the 18 nautical miles its light shines at night.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Agresto and her friend Sylvia Wolff began the process of founding a school in Corolla. Thanks to their efforts \u2014 and with community support \u2014 Water\u2019s Edge Village School opened in 2012, just yards from the lighthouse in the original 1890s-era building that was a former school for keepers\u2019 children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today Wolff is the public charter school\u2019s principal, and Agresto is president of the board of directors. The school had 15 students in its first year, providing education for kindergarten through sixth grade, eventually expanding to eighth grade. The board is wrapping up a major $2.1 million capital campaign to open an additional building, which is expected to be completed this spring. The school will be able to serve about 60 students once the new building opens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is not lost on Agresto that her once very global life has become hyper-local. And that\u2019s just fine with her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI think we all reach that point where we think, \u2018what can I do on this planet?\u2019\u201d said Agresto. She notes that soon she\u2019ll have to get biscuits out of the freezer for a soup meet-and-greet lunch with the Water\u2019s Edge teachers and parents. \u201cIf you can\u2019t do it locally, maybe you\u2019re not going to do it. In the end, if you made your friends\u2019 and family\u2019s lives better, what else can we hope for?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Agresto has loved seeing her kids grow up here. She added that the sense of community, the privilege of preserving history, is part of the reason why she has stayed for 20 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPart of the goal of Outer Banks Conservationists is to conserve a sense of place, which is a hard thing to put a finger on, isn\u2019t it?\u201d she said, musing. \u201cIt\u2019s sort of \u2018magic adjacent.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
