I visited Tryon Palace about 3 weeks ago and there was a very pretty white flower blooming in garden area between the main house on the left and the kitchen garden ( I think the Kellenberger Garden ). Could you tell me what that plant is?

Sandra Cotton | Sep 26, 2022
Jennie Adams | Sep 26, 2022

I'm just a shuttle driver, a volunteer, but I'll check it out I go back to volunteer on monday. It could be Rose of Sharon. Not sure what it actually looks like but I'll check.

Is the palace open for guided or non guided tours on a Monday (Apr) ? I have guests arriving later on Sun afternoon and they would like to visit the palace if possible on Mon. Thank you. L. Hansen

Hello! I would like to become a re-enactor for the American Revolution era. Can someone tell me who I may contact regarding this please? Name and phone number would be very appreciated. I attended the Masquerade last night.

Linda Lee Babcock | Oct 4, 2019
M Glaze | Oct 4, 2019

I agree with Courtney. I would definitely call the Tyron Palace Visitor Center and ask who to get in touch with about something like that. They should be able to point you in the right direction, maybe not the exact person but someone who can put you in touch with the right person.

What was the history behind this Tyron palace (need it for a Project)

BBPGamer | Oct 4, 2019
Millie Kwan | Oct 4, 2019

New Bern was the original capital of North Carolina and Tryon Palace was the Governor's Palace when the colony was established. It was then removed and a road was built in its place. Then in the last 2-3 decades a group of local people founded a fund and initiative to rebuild the structure and this is how the current Tryon Palace was established.
