Begin your park visit at the visitor center. Here, you will find information on the park and the Battle of Guilford Courthouse through two interpretive movies and a museum. Rangers or volunteers at the information desk are glad to help you with answers and assistance.
The Visitors Center is open 9:00AM - 5:00PM, Wednesday through Sunday except on Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day, and New Years Day. The Visitor Center will also be open on federal holidays that occur on Monday and Tuesday.
Getting there
Guilford Courthouse National Military Park is located along US 220 and New Garden Road. To reach the Visitor Center, drive East on New Garden Road and turn right into the parking lot when you see the stone sign “Guilford Courthouse National Military Park.” If you drive down Old Battleground Road, do not drive through the Forest Lawn cemetery, this is a dead end and is not connected to the National Park.
