A speck of an island off the coast of North Carolina has held a special place in Robin Kent Pittman’s heart.
Quaint Portsmouth Island, located several miles west of Cape Hatteras along the Outer Banks, is essentially a small colonial village from a bygone era that’s been preserved over time. Graced with historical buildings, such as a one-room schoolhouse, a dozen, scattered clapboard cottages, a small church and a combined general store and post office, are all that’s left, serving as a reminder that generations once called this island home.
