On May 19th at 6:00 PM, the museum will celebrate its 30th anniversary with a program about the museum – how it came to be, stories behind some of the museum’s oldest exhibits, and excerpts from the First Ladies of OIB video in which they tell their stories about the early days of Ocean Isle Beach. Cupcakes will be available for visitors to enjoy.
