  Looking for something to do in New Bern NC this summer? Why not check out Cedar Grove Cemetery?

   Join us for a tour of Cedar Grove Cemetery. Tours are factually based, offering glimpses into the lives of more than two centuries of New Bernians.

   Tours are a collaborative effort of the Earl of Craven Chapter of Questers International and the New Bern Historical Society. Their current efforts focus on securing funding for repair of the Main Gate into the Cemetery, located on Queen Street. Extensive work is needed to repair pointing of the stonework and to seal the top of the arch to prevent excessive moisture from passing into the stones and weakening them.

Tickets are $10 per person and can be purchased at the Historical Society or at the gate. Tours are offered every Saturday 4 pm through the end of November Cedar Grove Cemetery
808 George Street New Bern, NC 28560
