UPCOMING EVENTS

Founders’ Fund

To ensure the future of the Carteret County Historical Society and the History Place we established a new endowment, The Founders’ Fund in October 2007. This fund is in addition to the Emily Loftin Endowment. We need to look to the future. The money you give will always be KEPT IN TRUST. The interest the fund earns will be used to expand the History Place and make it a stronger interpreter of history in future years - not now. To date, more than $17,000 has been raised. There are many ways of giving. Have you thought of a Revocable Living Trust? Bequests of cash and stock to reduce your overall taxable estate? Making the History Place the beneficiary of your retirement plan? Real Estate?  Please help us make sure that future generations will be able to enjoy Carteret County’s past.

 Join the Founders' Fund by sending a contribution to the endowment.

Postal History Book Complete

The Carteret County Historical Society/the History Place has published the long awaited manuscript, A Postal History of Carteret County, North Carolina by the late Chares O. Pitts, Jr.

This 350+ page publication not only is an excellent history of Carteret County Post Offices but also serves as a superior history of each community throughout Carteret County. Much family history and specific genealogy is contained throughout each section. In addition, the book includes photos of many locations that no longer exist.

The book sells for $35 and is available at the History Place located at 1008 Arendell Street in downtown Morehead City. For more information call 252-247-7533 x 106 or e-mail historyplace@starfishnet.com
