Colonial Governors ruled, legislators debated, patriots gathered and George Washington danced. At Tryon Palace, where British rule once flourished, American independence took root and the state of North Carolina was born. Here you can still experience the adventure of North Carolina’s earliest beginnings and a living history like no other. Guided tours, live re-enactments and conversations with costumed interpreters from centuries past bring history to life in vivid detail at the Governor’s Palace, Gardens and Historic Homes. And, at the new high-tech North Carolina History Center, interactive games and hands-on exhibits delight visitors young and old. Whether you’re exploring one of our riverside gardens or sharpening your skills as a quilter, printer, ship’s captain or blacksmith, there are endless opportunities for making cherished family memories at Tryon Palace.
We bought the ticket that included tours, garden and multiple locations. Beautiful grounds, passionate employees who honor the property and enjoy sharing their knowledge to the visitors. I would recommend planning 3 hours to tour, walk, and discover New Bern’s history.

I had been to New Bern for over four years and had never had even one person tell me about this Awesome Museum! It was a walk back into time for me as the first floor was filled with architecture and photos of homes built in each style. It was amazing to see the old school desks that students sat at when this was the very first state school in North Carolina. The school served as a hospital during the Civil War and you could almost feel the soldiers watching you. Uniforms, drum from the Battle of New Bern, shells, artifacts, and oh, the photos of the soldiers!! This is now my "Happy Place". Where I go to reflect, be still, learn, enjoy history at it's best. There is no fee for this place. How can they do that? Open on Friday's, Saturdays, and Sundays from 12:30-4:30. This is a total MUST SEE while enjoying New Bern, North Carolina!
