Historical society celebrates 85 years
On Sunday, society members held a birthday celebration. More than 200 people gathered for a garden party at the Attmore-Oliver House downtown, the society's history hub. Sunday's event also allowed for a tour of the Attmore-Oliver House Garden, a project that society director Lynne Harakal said came from the work of volunteers.
The society began in 1923 in the home of Minnette Duffy, its "lead organizer." Duffy lived on Johnson Street and never abandoned the preservation mission.
The society owns four properties in New Bern: three historic houses and the land that was the site of the Battle of New Bern during the Civil War. The society is a caretaker of the Rawls-Stancil History Center, an educational center created because of an endowment from Margaret Rawls Stancil. The organization sponsors various educational programs, including Ghost Walk, an annual society fund-raiser during which the public is given tours of historic homes and properties downtown.
Even with very limited powers New Bern Historical Society has accomplished so much and it was a huge part in preserving this lovely area. New Bern's historic districts have been resisting developmentfor years and right now they are standing as a proud example to show to the world that it is possible. You will never know who you are if you don't know where are you coming from!

State Insect, Honey Bee - Designated by General Assembly in 1973 Honey Bee became North Carolinas official State Insect. This hard working creature is responsible for the annual honey production worth more then $2,000,000 in the state. Not a native species, the honey bee was brought to North America by settlers from Europe. Honey, which bees produce to feed the colony, is a natural sweetener. In the process of gathering nectar to make honey, bees pollinate seed-bearing plants that provide us with food and with fiber for clothing. Pollination is biggest Honey Bee's contribution to North Carolina crops.
Did you know that: The honey bee has been proclaimed the official state insect in 16 states?
