great historic set up and if you can make the reenactments , they will give you a sense of what it was like during the civil war and how the soldiers lived and died

This is a battlefield that was interesting to visit but did not at the time we were there have much in the way of information. It had just enough to make the trip worthwhile and added to my knowledge of military history.
General William T Sherman would not be stopped. North Carolinians and General Joseph Johnston's army aimed to stop him. This battle, Sherman's columns overwhelmed the Confederates. Well maintained site with fine educational materials. Check the website.
Very authentic and educational. I love it when they do the re-enactments. Very fun to watch and love all of the sites there are to see there. Will be taking additional trips.
Excellent place for family to visit and see all the hundreds of forces during the re-enactment. Well worth the time. Been there at least three times.
Small and nice to visit when you need a short break from traveling. Special events are well done, especially the reinactments with horses, etc. Rated it only Very Good because the sites in NC pale in comparison to the ones in VA (and I'm from NC).
We are very much into history with our family. We have visited this area numerous times....and will continue to go back.. We learn something new each time. We also have friends who own and display cannons, etc...and they have added so much more to the learning process for us.....
Those interested in CW history a must see. Esp. those looking for a taste of what medicine was like in those days. The restoration of the farmhouse field hospital was true to form.
I love the reenactment they put on here. It is a lot of walking so bring good comfortable shoes. Also bring a portable chair or blanket to sit on to watch the battle as the seating on bleachers is limited. There is great food cooked up by the fire department so come hungry and ready to have a great time....

This place is just boring. I usually love historical sites, but this one really fell flat for me. Nothing here stood out, and I wasn't here long before I simply left and chocked it up to a terrible experience.
