Abstract:

DeLue recounts his visit to New Bern. He provides a short history of New Bern and the construction of Royal Governor William Tyron's great palace on the banks of the Trent River. After interest was sparked with the restoration of Williamsburg, Virginia; two New Bern natives, Gertrude S. Carraway and J.E. Latham, decided Tyron Palace deserved to be included in the historic preservation.
