Tryon Palace in New Bern is the perfect place to watch North Carolina’s history come to life. In addition to housing the Governor’s Palace, North Carolina’s first colonial capitol and first state capitol, along with more than twenty acres of other historical buildings and gardens, Tryon Palace allows you to step through a virtual time machine into the year 1835. There you can adopt a historic role and experience your surroundings as the coastal village they once were.
With the help of interactive technology on this trip back in time, in the Pepsi Family Center you can work as a team to sail a ship, cook in a colonial kitchen and produce a 19th century newspaper. In the Regional History Museum, you can explore how the central coast of North Carolina has evolved geographically and in terms of population and important events. Throughout the grounds, mobile software is available for your smartphone to provide the perfect companion – complete with historical background and context.
This Saturday, Oct. 15, additional crafts and entertainment are available – from cornhusk dolls to a live performance of “The Monkey’s Paw,” celebrate fall at Family Day with time travel at Tryon Palace in New Bern.
