About

The Revolutionary War battle, known as the Battle of Guilford Courthouse, was fought on March 15, 1781, between the American forces under Greensboro's namesake, Nathanael Greene, and British Commander Lord Charles Cornwallis. Various parts of the battle took place on portions of land scattered along a path from Lawndale Drive eastward along what is now New Garden Road.  

The Greensboro Parks and Recreation Department along with the Guilford Battleground Company sponsors the annual Reenactment of the Battle of Guilford Courthouse at Greensboro Country Park every March.
