ABOUT NEW BERN

New Bern is the second oldest town in North Carolina, located at the confluence of two rivers, New Bern has become a popular destination for many visitors who enjoy its natural beauty, historic charm, and convenient location. The town was settled in 1710, and its picturesque downtown waterfront district is still home to many of the attractive historic buildings, shops, and homes of that era. Within walking distance of the waterfront are more than 150 homes and buildings listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Downtown is home to many specialty shops, restaurants and cafes, art galleries, antique stores, theaters, churches, hotels, and bed and breakfasts, as well as banks and other professional offices.

New Bern boasts many firsts, including first capitol of North Carolina, under Royal Governor William Tryon; first printing press; first book and newspaper published in North Carolina; first state public school; and the home and birthplace of Pepsi-Cola.

In addition to its rich heritage, Mother Nature has been good to New Bern, providing the town with a mild four-season climate and offering boundless opportunities to enjoy the recreation and beauty found in the forests and on the waterways of Eastern North Carolina. Area golfers find many challenging courses, hikers enjoy the trails and facilities of a national forest, and boaters of all types are treated to year-round sailing, powerboating, paddling, fishing, and waterskiing.

One of the highlights of a visit to New Bern is the restored home of the royal governor, Tryon Palace Historic Sites and Gardens, returned to its splendor in the 1950s and now open to the public year-round. New Bern also showcases its history in the Firemen's Museum and the birthplace of Pepsi-Cola museum.
