The Battle of Guilford Courthouse

Greensboro Reenactment

Owen has been studying the Revolutionary War at school, and has been chatting about it nonstop. When Our State Magazine featured the reenactment, I knew we would have to go. Plus, I grew up in Greensboro so it was cool to learn about. Michael was out of town on a church Men’s retreat and my parents live in Greensboro so win win. I got to spend time with my Mom + the boys got to learn about history. We learned a lot about the actual battles that took place in Greensboro, where they were, and all of the different types of soldiers. Harrison may have even been more fascinated than Owen. We ended up sitting next to one of Owen’s friends from school in Raleigh, which was super fun to run into them. They had a whole tent camp set up for you to wonder through, which was really neat to see. Then, all of the soldiers marched to war and more soldiers joined in the marching. The place was packed out and I ended up standing next to another photographer so we chatted about photographing the whole thing #teamcanon The Battle of Guilford Courthouse was an important part of the war and you can read more about it here. After all the hiking through the park. we headed to Ozzie’s for ice cream. If you live in Greensboro, and haven’t been, it’s delicious! Almost as good as Beaches-n-Cream
