New Bern History: A Lecture and Discussion Series
The Lifetime Learning Center is pleased to announce the continuation of the New Bern History lecture series. Our goal is to engage the broader community and expand the understanding of, and the engagement in, the fascinating history of New Bern and the region. The series is presented by Craven Community College Lifetime Learning Center and Tryon Palace, in partnership with the Richard Dobbs Spaight Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution and the New Bern Chapter of the Sons of the American Revolution.
The presentations will take place on Wednesday afternoons at 2:00 p.m. in the Cullman Performance Hall at the North Carolina History Center, 529 S. Front Street, downtown New Bern. The programs will be offered free to the public and all with an interest are welcome to join us. Donations will be accepted at the door to support the program. If you are planning to attend, we ask that you please register for the program.
