The Battle of Guilford Courthouse - a Victory Within a Defeat
"I never saw such fighting since God made me. The Americans fought like demons." - Lt. General Charles, Earl Cornwallis
On March 15, 1781, six years into the American Revolution, General Greene and Lord Cornwallis' troops faced off at a small courthouse community. This 2.5 hour battle would change the course of the Southern Campaign of the American Revolution.
Stopped by to catch up and see what was new. Took in a great movie and the exhibits at the Visitor Center. We skipped the road tour as we had done that before. Great site to get an understanding of the events the lead up to the Battle of Yorktown and the end of the Revolutionary war.

Took in all this park had to offer. This site gives you a great understanding of the history and timeline of the Revolutionary War.
