The Outlaw Cottage much like it sat in 1885 when Capt. Edward.R. Outlaw and his wife Lucy Rascoe Outlaw built it by reassembling the timber that originally framed the Windsor Tavern on the corner of King and Dundee Streets in Windsor, NC.  After it was torn down, the Outlaws had the boards and studs shipped by boat to Nags Head to build their summer cottage.  

Capt. Outlaw's wish was to be buried in his Confederate uniform, so every summer when he traveled to Nags Head as an older gentleman, he brought his uniform and hung it in the closet.
