Then, Now and Down the Rabbit Hole
Historical Society Curator, Jim Hodges Shares History & Images

The New Bern Historical Society has over 10,000 images from New Bern/s History. Curator Jim Hodges has selected just a hundred or so of his very favorites and will share them along with their stories with “Then, Now and Down the Rabbit Hole”. Join him on Sunday, January 25th at 2pm at Orringer Auditorium at Craven Community College. Keep a sharp eye out! You may spot something in the background of one image that will lead you to a rabbit hole filled with other fascinating stories.
You won’t want to miss this special presentation. Jim is one of New Bern’s favorites and will draw a large crowd. Tickets are available from www.NewBernHistorical.org or by calling 252-638-8558 or in person at the New Bern Historical Society at 511 Broad St. Reservations are highly recommended as we expect this event will sell out; $12 for Historical Society members, active duty military, and students; $15 for non-members.

All the images in this presentation have their own fascinating story from New Bern’s History. Hodges has spent 13 years as Curator, collecting and organizing documents, photographs and artifacts. Some come from collections of noted New Bern photographers like the Benners Kellum Collection, some from folks who share what they found in family collections.
