North Carolina History Center

The North Carolina History Center, which is part of the extensive Tryon Palace, is a new 65 million dollar complex which transports visitors back in time to explore New Bern’s more than 300 years of local history. Featuring extensive exhibits and attractions within the expansive space, visitors of all ages will have a blast discovering the roots of New Bern and Craven County, while exploring one of the most exciting new museums in Eastern North Carolina.

The North Carolina History Center has a far-reaching range of exhibits on the local history, which can span from the original Native Americans who first lived in the coastal Carolina area, to the town’s heyday as the original capital of the new state of NC. The Regional History Museum explorers all these stories in-depth through detailed displays that are stocked with antiques, relics and artifacts, while the Pepsi Family Center transports visitors through time via cool and interactive exhibits that the kids will love. With a host of waterfront dining options as well as new and rotating exhibits, and a stunning waterfront for impressive town views, the North Carolina History Center is a truly unique destination that creates a modern museum experience for visitors of all ages.
