Permits and Reservations
To ensure the preservation and enjoyment of Moores Creek National Battlefield, most special events and activities require a special use permit. These permits are issued after the National Park Service (NPS) verifies that the activities will not impair park values and resources.
Who Needs a Special Use Permit?
A special use permit is necessary for activities that:
· Benefit an individual, group, or organization rather than the public
· Require NPS management to protect resources and public interest
· Are not initiated, sponsored, or conducted by the NPS
These permits must be obtained in advance, and most likely will involve a fee.
Examples of Activities Requiring Permits:
· Rental of Patriots Hall for events
· First Amendment activities, including demonstrations and church services
· Commercial filming or photography
· Functions starting or ending in the park · Scientific research
Picnic areas are available on a first-come, first-serve basis and do not require a permit.
