The Battle of Goldsboro Bridge in Goldsboro.

Kinston's CSS Neuse Museum to Host a Scouts Night

From the June 14, 2018, WNCT, Channel 9, (Greenville, N.C.)  "Kinston's CSS Neuse museum to hold special night just for scouts" by Nicole Neuman.

On June 23 the museum will host "Scout Night at the Museum."  This will be open to Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts and is inspired by the popular movies "Night At the Museum."

Check-in will be 5:45 to 6:15 at the museum at North Queen Street then they will go over to the nearby CSS Neuse II replica on Heritage Street.  Dinner will be on the boat and then a tour will be given.

Then, the group will go back to the museum for activities.

Breakfast On the Boat: CSS Neuse II

From the Kinston (NC) Free Press  ":Breakfast on the boat will kick off fun-filled Saturday"  by Mike Parker.

In a cooperative effort between Mother Earth Brewing and the CSS Neuse II Foundation, a breakfast will be held on the full-size replica of the CSS Neuse on Saturday, October 21.

For $7 you get scrambled eggs, bacon, link sausage, grits, biscuits and drink.

It is one of the fundraisers for the CSS Neuse II Foundation to help pay for the insurance, costs, utilities and upkeep on the full-size replica, the only one of a Confederate ironclad in the United States.

The Neuse was the sister ship of the more famous CSS Albemarle.
