1-Aug 31 | Public Field Trips on the Rachel Carson Reserve
Beaufort, Carteret County
Public field trips on the Rachel Carson component of the N.C. National Estuarine Research Reserve occur on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 8:30-10:30am during June, July and August.
All programs are open and free to the public but reservations are required as boat space is limited. Call (252) 838-0883 to make reservations or for more information.
The Reserve offers three types of field trips:
1. Nature hikes occur during low tides, when the most amount of land is exposed on the island. Be prepared to get your shoes wet and muddy. We require close-toed shoes because of the abundance of oysters on the island. You may also have the opportunity to swim on the nature hike, so dress accordingly.
2. Boardwalk trips occur at high tide, when the water is high enough in the estuary for our 24' skiff to easily navigate around the island to our boardwalk located on Carrot Island.
3. Circumnavigation cruise on our 24' skiff around the Reserve allows visitors a chance to view Middle Marsh after a brief stop at the boardwalk.
On all three trips, we encourage you to bring sunglasses, hats, binoculars, water and sunscreen.
Please call the NC Coastal Reserve for specific dates and times for the field trips, 252-838-0883 or lori.c.davis@ncdenr.gov. You may also visit the website, www.nccoastalreserve.net.
All field trips are free; however, we do accept donations for our nonprofit organization, Carolina Estuarine Reserve Foundation (CERF).

22 | "Lead Belly, the Lomaxes, and the Construction of America's Musical Heritage"
Elizabeth City, Pasquotank County
Benjamin, Filene, Ph.D. will present “Lead Belly, the Lomaxes, and the Construction of America’s Musical Heritage” in the Museum’s Gaither Auditorium. Dr. Filene is Associate Professor and Director of Public History at the University of North Carolina Greensboro. Dr. Filene’s lecture will explore how today, African American music is exalted as fundamental to American culture-the roots of rock and American’s premier cultural export. But it wasn’t always so. In the 1930s, John and Alan Lomax, a father-son team of folk song collectors for the Library of Congress, took their 350-pound “portable” recording machine to southern prisons, gathering songs from inmates cut off from the pop sound of the day. Their prize find was Huddie “Lead Belly” Ledbetter, a convicted murderer with a vast repertoire of songs that astonished the Lomaxes. Upon Lead Belly’s release, the Lomaxes took him to New York City and promoted an astonishing claim: This was American’s finest music. Why did the Lomaxes’ claims for Lead belly strike such a chord in urban America? Why did Lead Belly’s criminal past enhance his appear? How did the Lomaxes create a “cult of authenticity” that shapes how we understand American music today? Dr. Filene will explore these issues, drawing on musical examples and inviting discussion.
