The Beaufort Historical Association (BHA) is a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving history in Beaufort, North Carolina. Founded in 1957, the BHA is the oldest and largest historical organization in the state. The BHA owns and operates four historic sites in Beaufort: the Old Burying Ground, the Beaufort Historic Site, the Harvey W. Smith Watercraft Center, and the Matthew Jones House.

The Old Burying Ground is the oldest cemetery in Carteret County and dates back to the late 1600s. It is the final resting place of many of Beaufort’s most prominent citizens and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The Beaufort Historic Site is a complex of buildings and grounds that includes the visitor center and the Ward-Jackson House, which was built in 1806 and is the oldest structure in the county. The Harvey W. Smith Watercraft Center houses a collection of vessels from the surrounding waters and is also a working boatbuilding and restoration shop. The Matthew Jones House is an 18th-century home that was moved from its original location and is now the headquarters of the BHA.

The BHA offers educational programs for all ages, including lectures, guided tours, school programs, summer camps, and events. In addition, the BHA sponsors a variety of special events throughout the year, including the annual Beaufort Pirate Invasion, the Christmas in Beaufort Historic Homes Tour, and the NC Maritime Museum’s Wooden Boat Show. The BHA’s mission is to preserve and interpret the history of Beaufort and the surrounding area, and to provide educational opportunities for the community.
