150 years after the bloody conflict that changed our nation forever, Kinston is poised to play a major role as we tell “the rest of the story”. Beginning in 2011 Visitors will have the the opportunity to “Walk in the footprints of history” as they discover the rest of the Civil War story, a story that has been relatively untold…North Carolina’s story during the Civil War.

Centrally located in Eastern North Carolina, Kinston is ideally situated to serve as the starting point for anyone searching for a greater understanding of North Caro-lina’s role during America’s Civil War.

For the next four years special events and programs will

offer a glimpse into the lives of those who lived, fought, and struggled here during the Ameri-can Civil War. We invite

you to discover Kinston's rich history as you embark on tours of our battlefields, museums, and gunboats.

In 2012 the opening of the CSS Neuse Interpretive Center will position Kinston as the most comprehensive re-source for Civil War exploration and education in North Carolina. Visitors will find themselves in awe as they view the largest collection of Civil War Naval artifacts includ-ing the remains of the only Commissioned Confederate Ironclad in the world. Just a short distance from the CSS Neuse Interpretive Center visitors can actually board an Ironclad and experience the life of a Civil War Sailor on the CSS Neuse II.

The “rest of the story” continues...

• Kinston-Lenoir County Visitors and Information Center - home to many civil war artifacts, remnants of a war fought 150 years ago and discovered years after the battle.

2011 - 2015



CSS Neuse InteRpRetIVe CenteRBecome captivated by the story of the CSS Neuse Ironclad's short life and her eventual 100 year sleep beneath the waters of the Neuse River. In March of 1865, the CSS Neuse was set ablaze by her crew to prevent her capture by Union forces. A large explosion near the port bow quickly sent the Neuse to the riverbottom, where she remained until 1963. In 2012 the remains of the CSS Neuse will be moved to the new CSS Neuse Interpretive Center. When complete it will encompass more than 40,000 square feet. Here the world’s only commissioned Confederate ironclad will be

displayed and permanently preserved. 31,000 square feet will be used to display the ship and much of her huge artifact collection which numbers over 12,000. This makes it the single largest collection associated with a Confederate ship. Exhibits will include a scale 12’ Brooke cannon with a functioning

carriage for visitors to work, realistic barracks for the soldiers garrisoned in Kinston and a reconstruction of part of the ship’s deck so you will feel like you are literally standing on the ship.The facility will also include a 100 seat theater, gift shop, traveling collections exhibit area, artifact storage and conservation area and classroom space.

Historians have learned much about Confederate Navy life from artifacts salvaged from the CSS Neuse. Museum visitors can

see coal rakes used to keep the coal evenly burning in the boat’s huge boilers, cannonballs, ammuni-tion shells, a belt buckle, wrenches, files, shovels, sockets, the cook’s stove, the bell from the CSS Neu-se and an intact bottle of Lea and Perrin’s Worces-tershire sauce. A rare English-made cuff button from an officer’s coat, a

button bearing the N.C. State Seal and another with the Confederate Navy emblem are among the treasures on display.

A wall plaque offers information on some of the boat’s crew members, including Capt. Joseph Price and 2nd Lt. Richard Bacot. Also on the wall are photos showing the rescue operation undertaken to raise the CSS Neuse from its watery grave in the Neuse River.

A cut-out scale model of the boat gives visitors a birds-eye view of life aboard a Civil War gun-boat, and a video presents a history of the boat.

The story of Richard Cas-well’s life is me-

morialized in a museum at the state site bearing his name. Caswell was a Revo-lutionary War hero, North Carolina’s first elected governor and a prominent businessman. He was a delegate to the Second Continental Congress, and ill health prevented him from becoming a signer of the Declaration of Inde-pendence and the U.S. Constitution.

One of only four remain-ing Civil War ironclads, the CSS Neuse was a ram, designed to collide with, and sink enemy boats. Free guided tours of the remnants of the ship are available at the site. She was built in nearby White-hall, now Seven Springs, just a short distance away. Confederate Naval Cmdr. James W. Cook, a native North Carolinian, oversaw her construction as well as that of the CSS Albe-marle and an unnamed ironclad in Tarboro. Iron confiscated from Atlantic & North Carolina Railroad Company tracks between Kinston and New Bern was rolled into plates and used

to cover the boat. The propeller and shafts were made in the Confederate Naval Yard in Charlotte. The boiler and her engine came from Pugh's Saw Mill near Kinston.

The story of the boat’s construction, her short life and her eventual 100-year sleep beneath the waters of the Neuse River is a cap-tivating one. You’ll learn why N.C. Gov. Zebulon Vance allowed railroads to be plundered for iron, why construction was delayed so long, how Union sailors nearly captured the cov-eted ironclad and why it finally sank with an 8-foot hole in its port side.

In the twilight of a Decem-ber night, the sounds you hear might be a breeze tickling the grass, or the

long lost voices of Confed-erate and Union soldiers fighting to the death. The bloody First Battle of Kinston began on Dec. 10, 1862 and left 685 casual-ties after 2,400 Confeder-ates faced 12,000 Union troops. Now you can walk this hallowed ground.

A plaza on the battlefield displays the U.S. flag flanked on either side by the Confederate and Union flags flown at the time of the battle. A walk-ing path tops a berm, and along the side are markers for each state whose sol-diers fought in the battle, along with the state’s regi-ments.

The battlefield is part of the North Carolina Civil War Trails program, which helps provide historical markers to interpret cam-paign sites and corridors of the Civil War.

A self-guided driving tour brochure for the First Battle of Kinston is avail-able at the Kinston-Lenoir County Visitor and Infor-mation Center.

Spend a day or a week at the Nature Center! Here’s a safe, entertaining and educational place for chil-dren that will capture their minds and hearts. Exhibits include plants and animals native to North Carolina such as poisonous and non-poisonous snakes, tur-tles, alligators, raccoons, osprey and a red-tailed

hawk. A talking African Grey parrot enjoys tell-ing a nearby cockatoo to be quiet, and the parrot’s conversation will amaze children. A saltwater tank lets children touch sea creatures, and experi-enced staff members will help them climb a 16-foot by 24-foot rock climb-ing wall. If fishing is your passion, you can borrow a rod, reel and tackle to fish in one of the center’s ponds stocked with chan-nel catfish. Rather go boat-ing? Sixteen-foot Mohawk canoes, oars and life jack-ets can be reserved. And if you enjoy walking, several self-guided nature trails wind their way through the 55-acre site.

They’ll love the hands-on health and science exhibits de-signed to teach and amuse children of all ages.

The 52-seat planetarium has a giant dome to display the sun, moon, stars and planets. Children and adults will gaze with won-der at the galactic shows offered at 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. Tuesdays through Fridays.

north Carolina Barbecue.....Lenoir County folks really know good barbecue! We

begin with whole pigs, split and slow-roasted over live

coals or wood. After cooking the pigs for hours the meat

is chopped by hand, using a cleaver. The finishing touch

is the sauce, always vinegar based with ground peppers!

Don't miss this delectable treat when you visit Kinston

and Lenoir County! Kinston has it's own festival to

celebrate “barbecue”. Visit KinstonBBQ.com.
