You don't have to be a kid to get a Junior Ranger Badge

Calling all NPS Nerds! This "Not So Junior Ranger" book takes young adults and adults deep into our museum and battlefield on an exploration fit for any National Park fan.

Our park rangers saw how many adults wanted to get their own Junior Ranger badge, but we wanted to give you a program designed to help you truly explore how the Battle of Guilford Courthouse took place. Ask for a booklet at the front desk of the Visitor Center. You'll explore our museum for answers, and then take to the battlefield to complete a crossword puzzle!

To give you a taste of some of the questions, check them out below! You'll find the answers to the questions in our museum exhibit, our online movie Another Such Victory, and on the battlefield.
