Founded in 1923, the New Bern Historical Society (NBHS) has been celebrating local history through:

• Creative and entertaining storytelling programs that bring history to life
• Educational programs that promote a better understanding of our history and the people who make it
• Thoughtful stewardship of historic properties including New Bern Battlefield Park, site of the 1862 first Battle of New Bern, and the circa-1834 Attmore-Oliver House.
• Collecting and preserving artifacts and documents important to our region
• Publishing scholarship that explores our past

How to Give

NBHS accepts gifts by check, credit card and through PayPal; in the form of securities, and life insurance; as bequests and from qualified retirement plans. Donors may also make a tribute or memorial gift to honor a special person or event. Please note that many companies match charitable gifts made by current employees and retirees; an appropriate form from the employer should accompany a qualifying donor's gift.

Some methods of giving to the Historical Society may have significant estate planning and tax benefits for the donor. A Historical Society representative, along with your financial and legal advisor, can help structure a gift in the manner most appropriate for your individual or family circumstances. All gifts to the New Bern Historical Society are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.
