Welcome to our home.
This traditional two-story house was built around the year 1900. Its owner, David Williams, was the first captain of the US Coast Guard Life-Saving Station of Ocracoke. The house is a contributing structure in the Ocracoke Historic District. In 1989, it was moved to its present location on National Park Service property to prevent its demolition and was subsequently restored.
We opened our doors to the public in June 1992. The ground floor rooms have been converted to our museum. The second floor contains a research library and administrative offices. In summer, we host talks about local historic subjects on our back porch. Come on in! We hope you enjoy your visit!.
