Please contribute to the Annual Fund!
As a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit, the Historical Society receives no state or local funding. We fundraise year-round through events like Ghostwalk, homes tours, and the golf tournament, but these events only cover about 40% of our operating costs. Your tax-deductible donations are critically important in helping maintain three historic buildings and Battlefield Park. Any gift of any amount is deeply appreciated.
Thank you for your support!
Join the Fun!

The New Bern Historical Society has been celebrating New Bern's rich heritage since 1923. Membership support and tax-deductible donations go toward educational programs and stewardship of important historic properties. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that receives no federal, state or local funding, the support of our members is vitally important to us.
As a New Bern Historical Society (NBHS) member, you enjoy discounts for Society events and programs while supporting our vital mission. You are also invited to attend several exclusive annual member-only events: the Annual Volunteer and New Member Social and the Annual Banquet held each spring.
Never miss a popular event: members get first notice. When you join, we will keep you updated on our programs and events through email updates and Historically Speaking, our quarterly newsletter sent by mail. Members also receive a copy of the annual New Bern Historical Society Journal, a carefully curated publication of historical articles related to New Bern and the Craven County area.
