Mid-block on Pollock between Hancock and Metcalf there is a narrow gravel road next to the Aerie Inn. We are in the brick building at the end. Park there or at 511 Broad St, the NB Historical Society.
Established in 1972, the New Bern Preservation Foundation works to protect and preserve historically significant homes and buildings in and around New Bern, North Carolina.
We raise funds for specific restoration projects, partner with organizations like Preservation NC, and advocate for the protection of endangered structures. A key part of our work includes offering and setting up protective covenants, which help ensure these historic properties and homes are preserved long-term, even through changes in ownership. We hold protective covenants on over 70 buildings and homes.
