State Secretary of Cultural Resources Susan Kluttz listens as N.C. Division of Historic Sites and Properties Director Keith Hardison discusses the CSS Neuse and efforts to preserve it at the CSS Neuse Interpretive Center on Friday. Kluttz toured the new facility as part of her statewide tour of historic sites and museums. The former mayor of Salisbury, Kluttz was instrumental in that town’s development of arts, cultural and tourism plans. She said of the center, ‘It’s not like any other museum I’ve ever seen,’ and, ‘This is really going to be significant.’ Hardison says they plan on allowing visitors to tour the facility in March to get an advance look before it eventually opens to the public.
