Lt. Frances Lyell Hoge served as the Executive Officer aboard the CSS Neuse from February 1864 through the end of the Civil War but lived a life much larger than his brief time in Kinston. Based on research conducted by NC Historic Sites Education & Interpretation Supervisor Andrew Duppstadt, this temporary exhibit explores Hoge’s life from his education at the United States Naval Academy to his career as a civil engineer in Wheeling, West Virginia after the Civil War.
