Venture on the Musical Stroll along Elm Street to hear the sounds of the season, then stop by the Winter Wonderland to listen to to a holiday story, get a photo with Santa, and enjoy a roasted marshmallow!

On the weekend closest to March 15, hundreds of costumed participants arrive at Price Park to reenact the 1781 Battle of Guilford Courthouse. Although the rebels lost the battle, it weakened the British forces, which led to their subsequent defeat at Yorktown. In addition to the reenactment, visitors can enjoy music, games, candlelight tours, living history demonstrations, crafts, open hearth cooking, and numerous other activities. The original battleground is comprised of land situated in three connecting parks -- Price, Tannenbaum Historic Park, and Guilford Courthouse National Military Park. Events are scheduled at all three.
