Since its founding in 1983, the Ocracoke Preservation Society (OPS), a non-profit, community-based organization, has been dedicated to preserving the cultural heritage of Ocracoke Island, North Carolina. Our goal is to provide access to education, research, and exploration of the island’s rich history and culture through programs, events, and exhibits. We invite you to explore this site, and come to the museum to learn more about the fascinating history of Ocracoke!
On May 15th we are celebrating the launch of a new book called, No Secrets in the House. The book takes place on Ocracoke Island and is the debut novel by authors Sheryl Cornett, Ray McAllister, and Artist Bruce Tarkington. The novel is a dual-timeline tale of women on different home fronts nearly a century apart, though tied to the same home in an iconic village on the island thirty miles out to sea.
See you there!
