Description
The history of the North Carolina Piedmont traditionally centers European settlements and the Battle of Guilford Courthouse, part of the Southern Campaign of the American Revolution. Less visible are the movements of peoples and the pursuit of livelihoods and community that existed prior to commemorated military events and continues through present day. Explore the shifting populations and maps of the region through the lens of indigenous scholarship to illuminate beyond 250.
Landscapes of Freedom consists of three related programs presented in partnership between the Greensboro History Museum, Greensboro Public Library, Guilford Courthouse National Military Park and Guilford College. This project is supported through a grant from America 250 NC, a program of the NC Department of Natural and Cultural Resources. Guilford Courthouse National Military Park hosts this third and final program on indigenous landscapes.
