May 12-13 • New Bern
Join the Historical Society as they celebrate their 100th Anniversary and showcase New Bern’s enduring beauty with a very special 2023 Heritage Homes Tour.
The 2023 self-guided tour includes very exceptional homes in the Downtown and Riverside Historic Districts, ranging from glorious to tiny, from 19th century to restorations in progress. These are livable family homes with rich stories and diverse architecture that illustrate New Bern’s amazing history. Add creative floral arrangements, live music, gardens in bloom, historical churches, and a very special 1920s themed garden party to the mix for an unforgettable tour.
New Bern Historical Society’s Executive Director, Mickey Miller explains, “This year’s tour is a feast for the senses! It highlights New Bern’s wonderful diversity of architecture, with exciting homes including a converted chapel, charming bungalows, and the grand Blades House.”
In addition to remarkable homes, you’ll be fascinated by working artists, notably the Plein Air group, and musicians performing on porches. Your day will be full! Your map, which is your ticket, will guide you to all these delights.
Tickets are $20 for adults through May 11. Beginning May 12 adults are $23. Active-duty military and family members, students under 23, and Historical Society members are $16. Groups of more than 10 are also $16 each. Tickets, good for both days.
