Did you know there’s an 18 century footprint hiding in plain sight in downtown New Bern?
The outdoor chapel at Christ Church sits on the site of New Bern‘s original colonial Church, the town‘s first house of formal worship. When its foundation was excavated in 1967, the historic outline was restored, creating the peaceful space visitors see today.
Just another place where more than 300 years of New Bern’s story are waiting beneath the trees. 📸 Christ Church
