Our Story
|
The Beaufort Historical
Association
The BHA is a private, non-profit,
membership and volunteer based organization
founded in 1960 by a group of Carteret County citizens
without the aid of grants and public funds. The
organization owns and operates the Beaufort Historic
Site, which depicts 18th and 19th century life in
Beaufort and includes six authentically restored
historic buildings open for
tours
year round. The site is open to the public and staffed
six-days a week, year round, and seven days a week June
- August. The Robert W. and Elva Faison Safrit
Historical Center provides information on area events
and services every day.
Mission Statement

architectural, and historical heritage of Beaufort and
