Guilford Courthouse National Military Park

Guilford Courthouse National Military Park, located in Greensboro, North Carolina, commemorates the pivotal Battle of Guilford Courthouse, fought on March 15, 1781, during the American Revolutionary War. This site marks where Major General Nathanael Greene’s Continental Army engaged British forces under Lord Charles Cornwallis. Although technically a British victory, the battle severely weakened Cornwallis’s army, contributing to his eventual surrender at Yorktown later that year. The park preserves the battlefield and includes monuments, exhibits, and interpretive trails that offer insights into the strategies, hardships, and significance of this crucial encounter in America’s fight for independence.
