About Tryon Palace Historic District
The Tryon Palace Historic District is the centerpiece of New Bern's 56-block National Register district — anchored by the reconstructed 1770 Tryon Palace (Royal Governor William Tryon's residence and NC's first permanent Capitol) and surrounded by 1700s–1900s Federal, Greek revival, and Victorian homes. The district fronts the Trent and Neuse Rivers and includes the historic Cedar Grove Cemetery, the Birthplace of Pepsi-Cola Museum, and dozens of Bed-and-Breakfast inns. Roofing here is one of NC's most specialized markets: standing-seam tin, cedar-shake, and slate restoration with mandatory NRHP-level review.
