Ocracoke Historic District, Historic district in Ocracoke, North Carolina, US.

The Ocracoke Historic District contains 228 buildings, 15 sites, and 4 structures spread across 200 acres near Silver Lake harbor.

Many houses in the district were constructed between 1823 and 1959 using salvaged ship timbers, reflecting the maritime heritage of this coastal community.

The district includes the William Charles Thomas House, Styron Store, Willis Fish House, and multiple churches that represent local architectural traditions.

Visitors can explore the district on foot to see the Ocracoke Light Station, which has guided ships through the inlet since 1823.

The British Cemetery within the district serves as a memorial to foreign sailors who lost their lives protecting American shores during World War II.
