$16.00 – $19.00

Hallowed Ground Lantern Tour
March 19-21, 2026
6 - 9 pm
at New Bern Battlefield Park
300 Battlefield Trail

Take an evening, lantern-lit walk through the Hallowed Ground of Battlefield Park. Costumed actors will share moving stories of courage & conviction from the past.

The New Bern Historical Society’s newest storytelling event, the Hallowed Ground Lantern Tour, returns!

Take a guided walk through the wooded battlefield trails, where costumed reenactors will share their inspiring stories about life in New Bern's Civil War past.

Our 2026 program includes:
◦ Visiting Irish and New York nuns at the Battle of New Bern
◦ Maritime involvement and fascinating ships
◦ New Bern Evacuation....and more

Not a battlefield tour or a program about the war, these are poignant human stories of the experiences of civilians, soldiers, formerly-enslaved persons, and others. These gripping narratives are largely based on letters, diaries, and contemporaneous accounts.

Plan about 90 minutes for the entire event. Group sizes are limited.
