Celebrating another fabulous year with New Bern Historical!
The strength of any nonprofit comes from the time and commitment of its volunteers. Last year we hosted our Annual Awards Dinner & Membership Meeting at The Doubletree by Hilton, where we honored your volunteer colleagues for their generous contributions. Please join us this year as we recognize more of our wonderful and talented volunteers as well as the 2026 Marks & Taylor Scholarship recipient!
From top left to bottom right: Bob Penvose (Executive Director's Award), Makenzie Richardson (Marks & Taylor Scholarship Recipient), Tracey Krumel (Newcomers Award), Curtis Krumel (President's Award), Mark Eckert (Ambassadorship Award), Holly Prafke (Battlefield Award), John Klecker (Education Award), MJ Woika (Newcomers Award), Maryann Murphy (Extended Service Award), Heide Lock (Battlefield Award), and Nancy Hitchcock (Battlefield Award).
Congratulations to these incredible volunteers - the heartbeat of our great Historical Society family!
