The 100th Anniversary of the New Bern Historical Society brings the opportunity to share the myriad stories that make up the history of New Bern.  Visitors will encounter stories of individuals and events through images, artifacts and experiences that tell the stories of our past and those stories that we continue to live.  Exhibit is FREE to view.

This traveling panel acknowledges and celebrates the Black builders, craftsmen, and architects who constructed or designed many of North Carolina’s most treasured historic places.  This is a FREE exhibit, presented by Preservation North Carolina.

We observe Memorial Day to honor the men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice while serving our country.  On Memorial Day, Tryon Palace offers FREE One Day Pass admission to all Veterans, Retired and Active Duty military members, as well as their spouses and dependent children.

Come and celebrate the jubilation of Juneteenth with a little history.  Master Storyteller Donna Washington will take you on a journey into folktales that lift the spirit and call us to care for each other, honor our inner strength, and keep working to achieve our dreams!  FREE to attend.

The time to choose has arrived – will you swear your Loyalty to the King, or enlist with others seeking Liberty? Step into Claire Fraser’s literal literary footsteps as you tour Tryon Palace and along the way encounter historic interpreters who will reveal the facts-versus-fiction of Revolutionary events.

Walk in the literary footsteps of Colonel James Fraser, his wife Claire, and their family as they journey through the events leading to Revolution. Are we to stand for the King, or is it time to risk everything in the pursuit of Liberty?
