Moore's Creek National Battlefield Park

Moores Creek National Battlefield preserves the site of the Battle of Moores Creek Bridge, fought on February 27, 1776, when nearly 1,000 North Carolina Patriots defeated Loyalist forces in one of the American Revolution’s earliest significant Patriot victories. Located in the peaceful pine forests and wetlands near Currie, the park combines important Revolutionary War history with walking trails, preserved earthworks, the battlefield landscape, and exhibits at the visitor center. Visitors can explore the site where the battle helped strengthen the Patriot cause in North Carolina and learn about the people and events that shaped the state’s role in the struggle for American independence.
