Very good tour of the palace, entertaining and period piece of the first capital of North Carolina. May of the rooms had period furniture with the docent knowledge very informed.

Had a fantastic time here with my family. The woman leading the tour was excellent- fun and interesting.

The garden is breathtaking the history and guided tour was fantastic, the town of New Bern and its history very interesting I would visit again.

This is one of the main attractions in New Bern. It is so well re-enacted and the gardens are spectacular.
