Update: 2025-09-30
Description
Join Kris White, Director of Education and Events, at the locations of Moores Creek Bridge and Wilmington. Five months before American Independence was declared in July, 1776, a patriot militia force defeated British Governor Josiah Martin and his troops at the Battle of Moore's Creek Bridge in Wilmington, North Carolina. The outcome is viewed as a turning point for the American Revolution in the state.
At the Burgin-Wright House in Wilmington, North Carolina, Kris gives us a brief rundown of all that the historic city has to offer. The Burgin-Wright House itself is best known as the headquarters of British Commander Charles Cornwallis after the Battle of Guilford Courthouse.
