Moores Creek National Battlefield

"• We visited here on a Wednesday morning in late December 2023. • We were waiting in the parking lot for the visitor center to open and were the only people there the entire hour or so we were there. • The bathrooms were outside adjacent to the parking lot and visitor center in a structure on it’s own. Everyone independently in our group said to go to the bathroom to listen to the music. Each person heard different things. One had bag pipes, one said banjo and other said singing. Very thematic bathroom music. • The kids did the junior ranger all from inside the visitor center. We started by watching the short film in the back of the visitor center. There is also several bonus patches/pins you can earn here for doing the junior rangers. Make sure to ask. The Ranger we worked with was super nice and also the woman working the front desk/NPS store was super helpful and talkative and helping the kids answer the junior ranger questions. Please see pics for different patches. • There are 2 locations for the Parks Passport Cancellation Stamps. One set is inside the atrium of the visitor center and the other is at the trailhead right outside the visitor center/parking lot. • We would probably visit again if in the area just to do the trails. It was actively raining and hard at that otherwise we would done the trail right outside the visitor center."

"This visit was very enlightening. The battle that took place here in February 1776, was the first real battle of the American Revolution. It is said that Lexington and Concord was the "shot heard 'round the world" but they were actually skirmishes. The Visitor Center was full of information and the trail around the battlefield were laden with facts. Definitely a must see!"

"A must stop. Had a great time. Very educational with workers that really know the history of the battle. Between the 10 min movie in a small theater. And the interactive displays to take it to the next level. You really couldn't ask for anything more."

"We enjoyed the early morning walk here. We used my electrical cart without any problem. This was a valuable opportunity to see history for yourself. I loved the walke talke machines by the benches that recounted oral history by the press of a button. Coming back again!"

"The rangers were friendly and informative, the paths were nice and well maintained, the visitor's center provided excellent information in an engaging manner. While this park is off the beaten path, it is well worth a stop if you are interested in Revolutionary War History, NC history, ecological history, or just need a good bathroom stop and stretch of the legs while you are passing through."
