Today we celebrate the courage of Carolista Fletcher Baum, who on August 15, 1973, took immediate action to save the sand dunes we now know as Jockey's Ridge State Park.
While her three children played on the dunes on a regular basis, on Aug 15th, 1973, the unexpected arrival of bulldozers threatened the landscape of the dunes. In protest, Baum stood in front of a bulldozer to stop the removal of sand. From that moment, a new movement ignited to save the dunes and in 1975 Jockey's Ridge was officially designated a state park.
We are forever grateful for the courage it took to preserve and protect this significant geologic feature in the Outer Banks!

Save the date for the upcoming 50th Anniversary Celebration of Jockey's Ridge State Park June 5-8, 2025!
