Oriental's History Museum

Our Mission:

Oriental’s History Museum is committed to expanding the public’s sense of community through an understanding of the Town’s history and its place in Pamlico County and eastern North Carolina. To achieve this purpose, the Museum collects and preserves artifacts and information that document the town’s history and produces interpretive exhibits, educational programs, and publications.

Our Displays and Artifacts tell the story of the simple life of a fishing and lumbering town turned into a haven for leisure activities, boating, and sailing.
