Things You Won't or Will Find on Ocracoke

Carl Goerch's 1956 book, Ocracoke, includes a chapter with a list of things you wouldn't find on Ocracoke in the mid-20th century. Of course, there have been changes. We now have a few of those things Goerch mentioned. Interestingly, however, we have had over the years several other things you might find surprising...like movie theaters, a railway, a skating rink, and windmills!


We have just published our latest Ocracoke Newsletter with lists of those things you won't or will or at one time would have found on Ocracoke. You can read it here: https://www.villagecraftsmen.com/things-you-will-or-wont-find-on-ocracoke/.

Although we have not allowed comments in recent months (it was getting too time-consuming to delete all the spam comments) we are allowing comments until the end of November, 2020, if you would like to add any other items to our lists. We would love to hear from you.

  1. That's an interesting list. I'd have not guessed that there would have been a skating rink there!

    It would be fun to start a list of things that are there now that you wish weren't ! :-)
