New Bern Battlefield Park- Part 1

The order of the areas below represents the order I visited them. They are all in and around the parking lot and Visitor Center. A close up view of the park map in the area is shown below. This park has some of the best signs I have ever seen in any Civil War battlefield. I present them in detail because as of September 2024 they are not in the historical marker database. Part 1 will cover the areas near the Visitor Center and Part 2 the trails.
