Our founder\, Carl Bornfriend\, worked tirelessly to build the museum we all know and love. Even though he’s not physically greeting our visitors\, he’s with us in every exhibit and step of further growth. As an open show of our continued gratitude and appreciation\, this day is dedicated to celebrating all his accomplishments. \nOne way we will do this is give everyone the opportunity to visit the Frisco Native American Museum & Natural History Center with only a small donation of a non-perishable food item – NO admission fee.  Join us with a day dedicated to the celebration of exploration and learning. Arrangements for free admission are easy.  Attendees simply need to bring at least one can of food per person which will be donated to the Hatteras Island Food Pantry.  Of course\, other non-perishable pantry items are also welcomed. \nWe will also be giving away seeds from some of our flowers from our pollinator garden! Carl was a horticulturist that loved yellow so we will be including lanceleaf coreopsis and black eyed susans for visitors to plant and share in the joy of the sunshine-yellow blossoms. Seeds will be only as supplies last as they have all been harvested from our own plants. \n\n\n\n\n\nVisitors will  find exhibits\, beautiful art work and displays on Native American culture from tribes across the United States as well as a gallery on the original inhabitants of Hatteras Island.  The Hatteras Island gallery provides an opportunity to “experience” the forest\, sit in a longhouse\, and hear a Native American tale. The gift shop offers a wide array of beautiful items as well as a bookstore. Visitors may also enjoy  the nature trail which includes winding paths and examples of village life prior to European contact with a longhouse\, fishing weir\, ceremonial poles\, and a dugout canoe.  The trail even offers a “story walk” with displays that slowly unfold a suspense-filled Native American legend.
