Abstract:
A New Bern celebration that vividly stands out is the welcome once given to the Ninth New Jersey Volunteer Infantry Regiment. Despite New Bern’s history with these former enemies, the overpowering reception for the soldiers demonstrated that former allegiances were overridden by the traumatic events they shared during the Civil War and respect for each other.

The brick smokehouse built in 1847 behind the Attmore-Oliver House in New Bern has contributed to the interpretation of the house and social life history. People had a smokehouse because it was used to prepare ham, a resource which represented the peak of gentrified high status. Brick was used to reduce the incident of fire and also reduce stealing.
