Abstract:
A small island, known as Plymouth, lies just south of Ocracoke Island. Just fifteen miles long and two miles wide, this small land mass once served as the abode of some 1,500 local sea pilots and their families and was essential for guiding sailing craft in and out of the inlet. Currently inhabited by 13 elderly persons, including Tom Bragg and Jody Styron, Plymouth is without roads, commerce, and is connected to the mainland via one phone in an abandoned Coast Guard station as well as through a supply boat that transfers mail and necessities. Plymouth is perhaps the most isolated locality in North Carolina.

Area planter Arthur Rhodes Founded what was to become Plymouth in 1787. It was the first incorporated town in the newly formed Washington County in 1807. The town saw significant military activity during the Civil War. Weyerhaeuser added greatly to the local economy in 1937. Selling a portion of this business in 2007 to Domtar led to an unfortunate 33 percent reduction in the workforce. Town historian Tom Harrison notes current rebranding efforts

Abstract:
The Picot-Armistead-Pettiford House, located on the corner of Main and Monroe Streets in Plymouth, was built in the early 19th century by Dr. Julian Picot. Local tradition associates the house with the Underground Railroad.. A trap door leading to a cellar and supposed tunnels is the source of long-held stories. The house is on the National Register of Historic Places and plans call for it to become a museum.
