DNCR Days

In 2022, the North Carolina Department of Natural and Cultural Resources is celebrating 50 years as a state cabinet-level agency with regional celebrations and online content throughout the year. DNCR is responsible for North Carolina treasures literally from A to Z – from the arts to the zoo – spanning the entire state. 

As DNCR celebrates its 50th anniversary all year long, the agency is proud to present three special events across the state, “DNCR Days.” These free events are open to the public and will feature offerings from across the department, with opportunities to learn more about our zoo and aquariums; museums of art, history, and science; state parks; historic sites and more.

“We invite you to join in our 50th celebration by visiting some of our many sites and engaging in the programming we offer, both in person and digitally,” said Secretary Reid Wilson. “We are proud to serve all of you and look forward to continuing this service into the next 50 years and beyond.”

Join the North Carolina Department of Natural and Cultural Resources for one, or all three, of our DNCR Days events or visit one of our sites anytime to take in some of the VERY BEST of North Carolina.
