Following guidance from the White House, as well as the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), and state and local public health authorities, Moores Creek National Battlefield is restoring access to the park’s visitor center. The National Park Service (NPS) is working servicewide with federal, state, and local public health authorities to closely monitor the COVID-19 pandemic and using a phased approach to increase access on a park-by-park basis.
Beginning Tuesday, September 8, 2020, Moores Creek National Battlefield will reopen access to:
the park Visitor Center following its normal schedule. The visitor center will be open from 9 am until 5 pm Tuesday through Saturday and closed all federal holidays. The visitor center, at this time, will remain at 50% capacity. The park will be showing its 10-minute movie, “In the Most Furious Manner,” but the theater will also be at 50% capacity.
In addition, the following spaces continue to be available:
trails, comfort station restrooms, Patriot’s Hall restrooms, and picnic shelters.
With public health in mind, the following facilities remain closed:

The health and safety of our visitors, employees, volunteers, and partners continues to be paramount. At Moores Creek National Battlefield, our operational approach continues to be centered on examining each facility function and service to ensure those operations comply with current public health guidance and are regularly monitored. We continue to work closely with the NPS Office of Public Health using CDC guidance to ensure public areas and workspaces are safe and clean. A safe and enjoyable park experience begins at home. The NPS encourages visitors to plan their visit by checking the park’s website and social media for current conditions and travel tips. The CDC has offered guidance to help people recreating in parks and open spaces prevent the spread of infectious diseases.We ask the public to be our partner in recreating responsibly, by following CDC and state and local guidance, social distancing, and wearing a face covering when social distance cannot be maintained.
