Porch talks

The Ocracoke Preservation Society museum holds several "Porch Talks" throughout the season, on a variety of topics related to Ocracoke. They are sometimes held literally on the porch at the museum, sometimes behind the museum under some shade trees, and sometimes inside the museum. Regardless of where the talk is, they are always interesting and informative. Here's the planned schedule of porch talks for the coming months.
