A Step In Time Walking Tours

We joined a massive group of people at the Moore's Creek Bridge Battlefield this weekend for their 250th anniversary of the first decisive Patriot victory in the Revolutionary War. It was also the last Highland Charge in the world, with Highland Scots Loyalists charging over the bridge and into a trap laid by the Patriot militia. It was a wonderful event with lots of demonstrations, performances, and information. What a great way to start off the 250th year!

We spent part of our Memorial Day weekend at Guilford Courthouse to learn about one of the most significant battles in the American Revolution. A fantastic visitor's center and well-marked trails around the battlefield, with monuments throughout. I especially liked the monument to General Greene and the gravesite of two of the signer's of the Declaration of Independence. It was a wonderful way to honor our ancestors and remember a few of the fallen.

Took a day-trip to Winston Salem and Bethabara yesterday. Everyone has heard of Old Salem, but Bethabara came first. Just a little bit further north, it was the first Moravian settlement in the Carolinas. A few original buildings still stand, although most of the village is now just foundations. The Visitor's Center was a great starting point, and the tour guide showed us around the main structures with lots of information about the settlement. I would love to come back and see the recreated gardens in the height of spring and summer! Well worth the visit!
