250th Anniversary of New Bern Resolves
Join us as we celebrate the 250th anniversary of the NEW BERN RESOLVES! In August 1774, the first Provincial Congress to be held in America in open defiance of royal authority was conducted in New Bern. Parade, Fife & Drum Corps performances, cannon firing and children's activities all day long! The 71 representatives who attended the 1st North Carolina Provincial Congress drew up 71 Resolves in defiance of the British Royal Crown, an act that served as a catalyst to the American Revolutionary movement.
