Membership
The New Bern Historical Society has been celebrating New Bern's rich heritage since 1923. Membership support and tax-deductible donations go toward educational events and programs and stewardship of important historic properties. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit which 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 'Friendraiser', the Volunteer and New Member Social, and the Annual Banquet held at the New Bern Golf and Country Club.
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.
