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.
