Known once as the "Athens of the South", New Bern is an area rich in history and culture.  Whether you're exploring the town--with four districts on the National Register of Historic Places--or hiking the surrounding trails, you'll have plenty to do as you take in the slow southern days.  Perhaps one of New Bern's most famous sites is the historic Tryon Palace, once home to the British governors of North Carolina and now a perfectly preserved piece of history.  Step back in time in New Bern--you may not want to come back!
