Albert Styron's Store is on the National Register of Historic Places. The Store opened in its present location in 1920, making it one of the oldest establishments on Ocracoke Island. Owner Albert Styron tore down his family’s store on Hog Island, near Cedar Island, and loaded the cypress walls into his boat. He carted Styron's Store to Ocracoke Island and rebuilt the business there.
