Ocracoke Preservation Society
Safeguarding Ocracoke's historic and cultural treasures ...for generations to come
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!
Our museum and gift shop are open annually the first day of April - first week of December, Monday through Saturday, 10am - 3pm (often till 5pm, depending on volunteer schedules!). We are open year-round online.

Your support directly benefits OPS and our mission.
The Ocracoke Preservation Society is so much more than a museum and gift shop. It is a community of hundreds of supporters, from members to volunteers, that together create a place where people can learn and donated artifacts can be safely housed. It is where community members can gather and support one another, working together to preserve and share Ocracoke's history. The proceeds from memberships go towards building restoration efforts, protecting physical donations, educating the public, and so much more. Thank you for being a part of this community!
