A gift to the Foundation not only maintains Tryon Palaces beautiful and lavish period gardens for all to enjoy today but grow and sustain them for future enjoyment. The highpitched shrill of the fife paired to the beat of drums can be experienced at Tryon Palace because of your support of the Foundation and our allvolunteer Fife Drum Corps. Tours of the Governors Mansion tell just one of the many stories of North Carolina presented by Tryon Palace and the NC History Center with your support of the Foundation. Your Membership Brings North Carolinas History to Life Our mission is to engage present and future generations in North Carolinas rich history from early settlement and statehood through the mid20thcentury.
