Albemarle Tradewinds November 2019 Web Final

Museum of the Albemarle
T
he
Museum of the Albemarle has several new
exhibits we hope you each will try to visit. A Thousand
Words: Photographs by Vietnam Veterans, will be
on exhibit from November 9, 2019 until April 30, 2020.
The exhibit is on loan from the North Carolina Museum
of History in Raleigh. This collection of images,
assembled by photographer Martin Tucker, was taken
by North Carolina soldiers in Vietnam. The exhibition
also includes a Missing Man Table, to remind visitors
of those that did not return home in addition to a 50th
anniversary flag given to the Museum of the Albemarle
for becoming a Commemorative Partner of the American
Vietnam Commemoration.
Accompanying the traveling exhibit will be Vietnam era
artifacts on display in the Museum of the Albemarle’s
main gallery, Our Story. In addition, please view our social
media sites for related programming on November

9 including a lecture and book signing by Martin Tucker
and a weather-permitting view of a historically restored
PBR 721 at Waterfront Park.
In addition, in our main gallery, Our Story, we recently
installed a case containing artifacts recovered during
archaeological excavations at the 31DR1 “Croatan”
site. In 1759 Royal Governor Arthur Dobbs decreed
land in this area to the Hatteras Indians to ease tensions
between Indians and Colonials. Those artifacts
include circa 1650 Charles II bale seal, tubular beads,
bone pin or needle, caulking chisel, lead musket ball,
and a copper human effigy that perhaps served as a
clothing ornament. You can view in the same case a
circa 1675 pewter button and an English farthing and
a circa 1700 decorative bone button all related to the
“Croatan” site.
The Museum of the Albemarle is located at 501 S. Water Street,
Elizabeth City, NC. (252) 335-1453. Hours are Monday through
Saturday, 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Closed Sundays and State Holidays.

Museums within the N.C. Department of Cultural Resources, the
