ABOUT
CSS Neuse Civil War Interpretive Center
Visit the ironclad gunboat CSS Neuse, which was used by the Confederate Army in a failed attempt to retake the city of New Bern and restore control of the lower Neuse River. In the 1960s, over 15,000 items were found in the steam-powered ram, which is the largest amount of artifacts ever to be produced from a Confederate ship. The CSS Neuse Civil War Interpretive Center provides an invaluable look into American history and life during the Civil War with weapons, tools, and stories about the crew members on display. On field trips to the center, students, homeschoolers, and campers will see the remnants of the ship’s hull and a scale model of the original ship.
