The log cabin and the battlefield tour are excellent. The park guides are very knowledgeable.

This was a very nice battlefield to visit.it is often contested as to whether it was the first real battle of the Revolutionary War. However, most scholars see this battlefield distinct from the Revolutionary War.

Went here in 8th grade for a field trip and it was an amazing and educational experience. I got to see a real cannon. And we got to clean a cannon. And we drank homemade apple juice and it was amazing.

This place was absolutely awesome. The lady that works here was very responsive and informative. We will be going back and I suggest that other visit if they can.

This site is amazing, the tour guide was so knowledgeable and truly interested in telling the history. Thank you!

Great staff- very nice and knowledgeable. Good signage. Interesting artifacts, battlefield, and historic structures to explore.

Wonderful living history guides! Beautiful grounds. Highly recommend.

So surreal to be at the first battlefield that begin the Revolutionary War. Beautifully kept grounds. Did not do the walking trails but will return for that. I chose the self guided tour, but you can take one with the staff. Really neat relics inside the building.

What a great little historical place! Very kind and informative staff as well.

Its beautiful. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly.

This is a very underrated yet important historical site. The Visitor Center is small, but it houses the very interesting 20 min video on the events leading up to the battle. The docent/lady, gave just my wife and I, a custom tour. She was extremely knowledgeable about the entire history of all that was discussed. The deciding factor in the battle was the cannons Gov. Tryon had on his side. The size used are fully on display in the Center and outside. The Allen house is also very interesting.

The people here are great and love the history!!!

Very nice pretty spot. A very nice person showed us around. There is a very well made video and a cool old house. Very informative and interesting. There is also a sending nature walk.

Underwhelming historical location. Great educational opportunity but youve seen it all in a less than an hour. Cute house with a story and small museum with an informative worker. definitely worth a stop but not a day trip event.

Interesting! Said to be 1st Battle of the American Revolution.Went during the German Christmas in Colonial Carolina event 7 December 2019.

Nice lot of history and nice place to walk

Awesome Historic place. Starts off with a really good video then the staff that work here are awesome they gave a tour through out the whole property and had a lot of knowledge.

Nice little excursion for true history buffs... nothing overtly exciting but still worth a stop if your in the area . Very helpful guides and a short nature trail if you want to explore and read some facts along the way ...

A wonderful experience for the whole family watch the video in the theatre it’s wonderful. Watch history at work. Worth the trip from anywhere

This is a very good place to go and learn about this countys history. The staff person was very knowledgeable. It also had a short film which was informative as well. Im really glad my husband and I took the time to visit. We learned quite a bit!!

I really love checking out the lower ratings first and the mindless people that give 1 or 2 stars to places like this and say nothing or not much to see. i wouldnt care if there was just a plaque here. it was were the first battle of the revolutionary war took place. thats all i need to know. take a look at the battlefield. i couldnt image what it must of been like fighting that close. to me the rest of the site is a bonus.

Easy stop off I-40 to learn about NC history. Friendly staff gave us a personal tour. I imagine that a re-enactment day would be a great time to visit too

Now this place was cool. Its one of those side-of-the-road museums that I always mean to stop by but never do. I finally made it and it was well worth the time. This location is centered around a battle that took place before the Revolutionary War between the colonial governor and the local regulators. I had no idea and it was something cool to learn about. The physical place was well maintained and laid out with a few different walking trails that will take you past the different areas of the small battlefield. Lots of historical tidbits and things to learn about the place.Also of note were the staff members that were there. Not only were they kind but they seemed really excited to share the history of the place. Of course this is their job but I gotta believe it gets old having the same questions asked over and over and over. But they were great and if youre thinking about stopping, its worth the 30 minutes to learn a few new things.

Excellent displays, knowledgeable staff and historic interpreters. The Allen house on site is a very good example of colonial living conditions at the time. The 250th anniversary of the battle will be commemorated next year. (1771-2021)

Great pre-Revolutionary Battle field with interesting historical facts surrounding this engagement. Staff is extremely knowledgeable and able to answer lots of questions. Great field trip for our home school crew as we are studying the Revolutionary War era!

Interesting historic site. Nice walk around the grounds.

Really helpful, knowledgeable guides, eager to show us around. Great house with period and original furniture, as well as a good movie and some exhibits.

Great docent that told us lots of information

Nice little history lesson, beautifully kept grounds. They even had a fire going in the Allen house when we was there. The nature trail was rather easy, with shorter choices for those who dont wanna walk for long.

We were there to take in a bit of living history, the reenactment of the Alamance Battle.

This is a wonderful little local gem. Connections to three wars, and a ton of local and state history! The people are phenomenal as well!

Great place to visit and learn. Extremely helpful staff.

We were there for the German Christmas & it was a very neat experience.

I Stopped by here after giving someone a very long Uber ride from Norfolk, Va. I liked some of the history of it compared to other battlefields. I also enjoy the fact that they had a fully stocked cabin. Most of the time you walk into a cabin like that, they have a glass partition. This did not.

Small museum with a couple of artifacts and an interesting walking tour. The friendly docent was an expert on this pre-revolutionary battle. Closed Sunday/Monday

Stopped by and check it out pack a lunch and view the attraction. Guides were very helpful...

Friendly, informative staff. Interesting reenactments.

Its a historic site with many great displays and information about the local history and people

Very informational and thorough visit.

Excellent experience for demonstrations as to how life really was during the revolutionary times.

Home to the southern spark during the War of the Regulation which led to the American Revolutionary War. #outlander

We saw a great video on the Battle of Alamance and the tour guide was very nice. We also were allowed to see the inside of Alans Smokehouse. It showed what occured very clearly and I would recommend it very highly. I also enjoyed the pokestops. HEHEHEHE

ANNUAL EVENT - Interesting to see the period outfits, with the cannon and muskets firing. They had multiple tents with different settings for the time. The reenactment was very short and only had one side firing at nothing (there was no opposing force). interesting to see and only cost $2.

When my parents visited from Australia, we went here. It was pretty neat. The guide was really good, and it was pretty neat to hear some local history. 3 stars for interest level, 5 stars for guides, and the fact that its local to me, and free.

Beautiful area & enjoyed the German Christmas celebration activities & food!

What a great state park! The battle of Alamance feature heavily in the Outlander series of books and I was in the area so I wanted to check it out. Mrs. Cox provided us an excellent tour of the battlefield and the Allen house. Great stop if you are in the area.

Enjoyed visiting the battleground. A learning experience with everyone very helpful. I hope to return in the future as they have different events throughout the year.

Site of the very first battle of the revolution for our independence as a country. HALLOW GROUND

The site is clean and well maintained, with good restrooms and a visitor center. Staff are highly knowledgeable about the site history. They take extra care to give visitors a great historical learning experience!

A very informative day.

Reanacting is amazing! I love dressing up in 18th century clothes. Its a good site for it.

Nice layout and grounds are maintained.

Scottish music festival was a fun relaxing time. A great staff, a wonderful venue and quiet relaxing music. Wheelchair access for one parking space and access to the visitor center.Access to other areas by wheelchair is impossible unless someone is pushing, pulling you along gravel or hard packed trails.The staff goes out of their way to accommodate people.

I wish they hadnt run a busy road right through the battle field. Of course the road was there during the battle, but now its a busy road. You have to go through the museum, and you have to watch the movie.

Really nice place with a lot of history. You have to walk through a lot of grass, so wear appropriate footwear.

Beautiful place to learn history

Went to the living history. It was a great time!

Very neat historical site with a little museum and occasional tours. While the museum is small it has lots of good info on the battle. It even has a little theater where they show a DVD of a recreation they produced thats actually a pretty legit production with good acting and production values. They sometimes have on site recreators as well which is a nice touch. Ill definitely be returning in the future.

Interested history and artifacts with a friendly staff

A must see for all historians who want to know more about North Carolina history. Very easy to find, plenty of parking spaces, the docent was very friendly and knowledgeable. Easy to walk the battlefield, plenty of outside picnic tables to have lunch or just for a resting place. Restrooms are outside next to parking lot.

Great lesson in American history!

Very neat piece of history with a small but informative museum. When I went there was a little tour with reenactors which was fun. They also produced an accompanying reenactment film which was a pretty legitimate production with decent acting and production value. Ill definitely be taking another trip out there to support it.

Cool place! A unique look into North Carolinas colonial history.

Learned a lot. Tour guide/re-enactor Drew was a great guide!

Went to the German heritage festival. Very educational. Many complained that there were no vendors there. They missed the whole point this was a heritage festival, not a flea market.Loved hearing what the German settlers brought to this country.

School field trip. 100+ teenagers. They all loved it and found it very interesting. Thank you!!

This is where the revolutionary war began!

History teaches us what to do or not do.

Friendly and knowledgeable staff!

Good film, great tour guides, and a big house!

Lovely area, full of history. Curated by knowlegable and dedicated staff that show how much they care for the history of Alamace county. It takes you back to times of pre-revolution and paints an accutare picture of what life was like in that era.

Small historic site with period cabin, smokehouse and garden. Visitor center has a small gift shop, movie documenting the Regulators (about 20 minutes) and staff offering walking tours. Monuments are across the street. Note GPS directs to the monument but the center is across the street. Nice 30 minute stop during travel.

We are local to the area so we often drop in for the reenactment events held several times a year at the Battleground. Most recently I visited with my teenage son and friend. We are always so impressed with the knowledgeable living history demonstrations. This time we visited with a gentleman baking bread in a homemade clay beehive oven, a blacksmith using Revolutionary War period methods on a portable forge, and someone who mixed paints and told us about that trade during the 18th century. In the past weve heard about the colonial medicinal and surgical trade, seen open fire cooking demonstrations and had an excellent tour of the house that is on site. You never really know who will be there; its different every time. Lots of opportunity to ask questions and lots to see, touch and do. Something for all ages!

Friendly folks. always helping teach history and engage the local citizens , young and old to learn our state and county history. Fields are well kept and the run their education programs and weekend events rain or shine . Great group of folks. :)

I loved it and so did my 5 year old son too. He told me he could see them in the battle on the battle field. We watched the movie 1st and I read the markers to him so he would know what went on here and I think that is why he said that. I do not think he can see dead people lol. We also enjoyed the tails on the back part of the battle field.

Colonial historic site

I was disappointed with the taken down of the flags and the little display area is now just a movie viewing area. Needs some diplays for puting the history into reality. I liked it much better when I took my kids years ago. The staff where great, helpful and full of knowledge.

Warm and welcoming.

Great place to learn some local history.

Nice place to visit and learn history

Parking for buses is very inaccessible. Otherwise beautiful place well maintained

I really enjoyed just wish wasnt so hot so could walk the whole place.....what I did see...the house was my favorite part...I could live there....

Is that there is very knowledgeable about the Battle and local history. Well worth a stop

Great site! The staff is friendly and very knowledgeable! Interesting history, Ill definitely be back!

Great experience-re-enctors were so interesting and explaining their guns and cannon to grandson.

Interesting site. Good tour and friendly informative staff.

Known as the first battle of the revulutionary war. Interesting bit if history. A small but interesting display area tells the story. You would never know what happened here just driving by the few cleared areas on both sides of a country road in Alamance County. If you are a NC history buff, it is worth the short drive back in time! Not a lotto see, but a little to think about the events that lead up to the revulutionary war.

Cool history. Learn about early American history.

A piece of history that many North Carolinians dont know about yet preserved with good special programming and some wonderful artifacts.

Guides extremely knowledgeable and super friendly.

Love the veterans

Excellent site and knowledgeable staff. Great place for a picnic and discover a small slice of history.

Extremely interesting, a cool bit of history.

This is another one of those places you want to go if youre interested in Revolutionary and Civil War history lots of nice exhibits to see

I thought it was very beautiful and enjoyable I would tell my friends to go and see this place

A place with history and great historical significance. Great museum and battlefield markers

Went with my grandson and enjoyed it.

Knowledgeable and friendly staff, though not much to be knowledgeable about. This particular site has a small history of a pre-revolutionary war battle. It is well-preserved and well-kept, though bland and uneventful.

Words cannot do this place justice. If you want a place for kids to run around, this isnt the place for you. If you want to walk in the footsteps of the original revolutionary uprising, this is the place.

Very informative and pretty
