Very authentic and educational. I love it when they do the re-enactments. Very fun to watch and love all of the sites there are to see there. Will be taking additional trips.

Excellent place for family to visit and see all the hundreds of forces during the re-enactment. Well worth the time. Been there at least three times.
Small and nice to visit when you need a short break from traveling. Special events are well done, especially the reinactments with horses, etc. Rated it only Very Good because the sites in NC pale in comparison to the ones in VA (and I'm from NC).

I love the reenactment they put on here. It is a lot of walking so bring good comfortable shoes. Also bring a portable chair or blanket to sit on to watch the battle as the seating on bleachers is limited. There is great food cooked up by the fire department so come hungry and ready to have a great time....

You'll start by viewing a 15 minute film which provides an overview of the battle fought there, then a self-guided tour of exhibits in the small museum area. There is also a small...

The battlefield is large and has many plaques to read about the area. Unfortunately the place was closed on the day we decided to go but you are still able to walk around and look at everything. The cost is normally free when they are open. It was neat to read about the history!
