This Pepsi gift shop, as well as soda fountain, is located where the first Pepsi drink was invented.

Craven County, organized in 1712, was the site of North Carolina's first capital, New Bern.

The bear is one of the oldest religious symbols. It dominated Switzerland in prehistoric times, and although now extinct is still considered the king of beasts in the region. Even though the bears are imported, the city of Bern maintains to this day a bear pit to remember the symbolism of its name. New Bern was originally settled in 1710 by Swiss and German immigrants who named it after Bern, the Swiss capital. The city emblem, as in old Bern, is a black bear going up a golden road.  This symbol appears frequently throughout the city.

Downtown New Bern sits on a point of land where the Neuse and Trent rivers come together.  It is believed the Tuscarora Indians may have had hunting camps and villages here for thousands of years.

Union Point Park is located at the foot of the Trent River Bridge.  Union Point Park serves as a city park and public dock. Boaters can anchor at the park to familiarize themselves to the area and locate more permanent moorings.

The New Bern Riverfront Convention Center is home to many special events and annual trade shows.  It has a large waterfront veranda overlooking the Trent River.  The Center is a great asset to the downtown area.
