NEW BERN

 Craven County,midway along North Carolina's lacework coastal fringe, is the ideal vacation spot for sunseeker and history buffs alike. Settled in 1710 by Swiss and German immigrants at the confluence of the Trent and Neuse rivers, New Bern is the second oldest town in the state. History abounds around every corner, with over 150 landmarks - some dating to the 18th century - representing variety of architectural periods. The centerpiece of restored historic district is Trylon Palace.

 Year'round, visit the historical museums - such as the Civil War Museum, the Fireman's Museum, and the Academy Museum. Peruse the specialty shops in the downtown area. For change of pace, sail lazily on endless rivers or golf on one of the excellent championship courses in the area.
