Tryon Palace

🤩🥳 Exciting things are coming to New Bern.

Here's a look at the work being done on the new sculpture coming soon to Wilson Park in Downtown New Bern. We are excited to see this piece of art installed this summer!

You can read the book that inspired the artwork! Catherine Bishir’s book “Crafting Lives: African American Artisans in New Bern, North Carolina, 1770-1900” is available from University of North Carolina Press, the Tryon Palace Museum Store, and other retailers.
