This is the site of a early Revolutionary War battle between North Carolina colonists, one side loyal to the British and the other fighting for independence. Many of the loyalist were recent immigrants from the Scottish highlands who fought with broadswords against musket and artillery fire. The battle was short, ending with the loyalists surrendering to the patriots.There’s a small museum with a good movie and a one mile walking tour through the battlegrounds.
The museum is all accessible. The trail is a combination of asphalt, boardwalk, hard packed sand, and a new material that we haven’t seen before – a thick layer of compressed shredded rubber. The rubber sections of the trail are slightly spongy and require some effort to push along.
RVs can be parked lengthwise across the parking spaces. Battlefield
