Chief Solano Chapter NSDAR

In the early morning hours of February 27th, 1776, Loyalist forces charged across a partially dismantled Moores Creek Bridge. But what they didn't know was that just beyond that bridge, nearly 1,000 North Carolina Patriots were waiting quietly with cannons and muskets poised to fire. This battle marked the last broadsword charge by Scottish Highlanders and the first significant victory for the Patriots in the American Revolution. 🇺🇸

Moores Creek National Battlefield commemorates this 1776 victory, a turning point in the American Revolution. This weekend, the park will celebrate the 250th anniversary of the Battle of Moores Creek with special programming on Friday, February 27th, and Saturday, February 28th.
