Description
Join us in commemorating the 246th Anniversary of the Battle of Moores Creek Bridge. On the weekend of February 26th and 27th, we will be hosting a variety of Living History events. You can tour the battlefield encampments, watch historic weapons demonstrations, and roam through the demonstration area to see a variety of colonial demonstrations. There are interpretive demonstrations of the battle held daily— these are not reenactments, but they show the Patriot perspective of the battle unfolding.
After you’re finished exploring the battlefield, be sure to stop by the Visitor Center to check out the exhibits and see the park film.
Join us from 10:00am-4:00pm each day. This event is FREE!
