Its a small battlefield, but it was significant during its time. It is beautifully preserved, and the museum is very nice. The museum is closed right now, but you can still view the grounds. The preserve slave cabin is a wonderful piece of history that we can all learn from.

Well preserved battlefield and historic structures of the era. The museum is worth visiting with exhibits of relics from the Civil War.

Dont go! Wasted 45 minute drive to get there and it was CLOSED! 1 star for curb appeal only. Need to update hours of operation. What a joke. Even recording said it was open.

Very cool area. There is a lot of history and it is interesting to learn about. The guide inside was knowledgeable and friendly. You can tell he really enjoys talking about and teaching visitors about the rich history.

This museum truly showcases Southern Hospitality. The staff there was incredibly friendly and helpful. The displays have dozens of actual battlefield artifacts. The gift shop has a little bit of everything from novelties to hand-made crafts to a wide collection of fantastic books and maps. An absolutely fitting tribute to our fallen American brethren. Great job on the museum.

Its not like Gettysburg with all of the Monuments and statues so dont expect that. It is however very beautiful country and must be seen to be appreciated.... History awaits...

This might be one of the smallest museums I ever visited but it was packed with the flavor and gave you a deep sense of what war was about during that era. As you followed the road an read the signs marking the battlefield you are taken back by the close proximity of each of the divisions. Jerry the curator was extremely knowledgeable and you could see he enjoyed his position. It was worth the visit. I will post pictures when I return home.

The location is well maintained and the volunteer in the small museum is really happy to receive visitors. There is enough information to understand what took place there before, during and after the battle.

Small museum very helpful staff. The cemetery nearby is very impactful too know there are only two known soldiers and 60 in mass graves that are still unknown today.you can look at the houses and such as you drive to and from the site but they are privately owned which unusual where I come from .

Great place over all the tour is excellent and great clerk.my only suggestions is make the tour signs a little bigger so that people can see it before passing without slowing traffic.

The country around the battlefield is gorgeous and well worth the drive. The visitors center was surprisingly stuffed with artifacts, especially for a small, privately run endeavor. The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful; an incredibly well-preserved slice of North Carolina history.
