Abstract:

New Bern and Craven County cooperatively purchased Fort Totten and the seven acres it occupied for the sum of $2,000. Spurred by enthusiasm from the Junior Woman's Club, organizers planned to restore the Civil War fortifications and transform the area into a public park. The area consisted of both Confederate and Union fortifications because of New Bern's capture in 1862.
