From the Neuse News, Kinston, North Carolina.
Well, its too late now, but glad to see the CSS Neuse doing things to keep in the public eye and increase attendance.
This past Saturday, August 28, from 10 am to 4 pm you can learn about those old things grandpa and grandma left you at the CSS Neuse Interpretive Center in Kinston.
This will be handled by the site's staff members and friends who have a variety of historical interests. they are well-versed in firearms from the 18thcenturythrough World War II.
They even say that is they don't know what it is, they will check their reference works and online resources. They can also give you tips on how to best restore and preserve the items. In addition, they are always looking for items from Eastern North Carolina during the war.
The CSS Neuse is the only remaining commissioned Confederate ironclad above water. It was part of a new technology that the Confederacy used to combat the superior manpower and firepower of the Union Navy.
The shop's hull remains.
The CSS Neuse Center is a part of the Division of State Historic Sites in the N.C. Department of Natural and Cultural Resources.
