Abstract:

Once the home of North Carolina's royal governors, and later the capital of North Carolina, New Bern's Tryon Palace has been reconstructed to its previous splendor. Built in 1770, Tryon Palace was named for the first royal governor to occupy the building, William Tryon. Destroyed by fire in 1798, the 32 room palace has been restored in costly detail, and is now filled with a collection of rare pre-1770 antiques.
