  Camp Lejeune manages a variety of historic and prehistoric archaeological sites, as well as historic structures. The prehistoric and historic archaeological sites have a long history within the base, ranging from early Archaic period (8000 BC) to early European colonization and later settlement.

   In addition to extensive archaeological resources, Camp Lejeune manages historic architectural properties.  Constructed during the mobilization of the Marine Corps during World War II many of Camp Lejeune's buildings and developed areas remain as they were originally constructed, retaining a high degree of architectural integrity.

   The following are essential elements of Camp Lejeune's program to preserve its cultural and historical resources :

  • Integrated Cultural Resource Management Plan

  • Cultural resources surveys/ National register status

  • Installation Agreements

  • Organization and staffing

  • Cultural resources management committees/boards
