Welcome to Moores Creek National Battlefield's Virtual Anniversary Program. While we wish you all could be at the park with us, the health and safety of our park staff, volunteers, and visitors is our number one priority. We have worked with several partner sites and other presenters to bring you virtual content that will help you gain a better understanding of the Moores Creek Campaign and its significance in American History. All of our videos will be released on this page and will be available beyond this weekend!
We have several webpages for you to explore! We have a page that contains all of our previous civliian demonstrations, which include colonial beverages, blacksmithing, and more!
We also have a page of videos and activities just for kids! These activities include word searches, coloring pages, and a link to our Virtual Junior Ranger Program. We will even be holding a virtual swearing-in ceremony for all of our Virtual Junior Ranger participants on Saturday Feb. 27 at 4:00 pm.
We hope you enjoy all of our virtual activities!
