Visitors to the Graveyard of the Atlantic Museum in Hatteras can see what happened on the Outer Banks during the American Revolution through a new temporary display.
“The Raid on Ocracoke Inlet” unveiled April 15 focuses on events that took place at Ocracoke between Patriots and Loyalists during the American Revolution.

The display features a diorama and several panels that provide additional context for some of the main characters behind the raid and the stories as they unfolded.
“We’ve been exploring ways to help bring local stories about the Revolutionary War to our community and visitors,” education curator Molly Trivelpiece said in a release. “This new display helps us do that.”
The museum, under the North Carolina Department of Natural Resources, is open 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday. Admission is free.
The display is part of the state’s America 250 NC initiative, which commemorates the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, and is led by the N.C. Department of Natural and Cultural Resources. For more information about America 250 NC, visit america250.nc.gov.
