Currie, NC– On Saturday, November 13, 2021, Moores Creek National Battlefield will be holding its annual Candlelight Tour.

Experience the Battleground as you have never seen it before. This family-friendly program will travel along the candlelit trail with stories of the early days of the American Revolution and of the Battle of Moores Creek Bridge. Plan to arrive around 15 minutes before your scheduled tour time to check in.

Tours last approximately 45 minutes and depart from Patriot’s Hall every 15 minutes. The first tour is at 5:30 pm and the last tour departs at 9:00 pm. Tours are free, but you must make a reservation for a slot. In order to make a reservation, please contact the park at 910-283-5591 x. 2234. Spots go fast, so if you are interested in joining us for this special event, make sure to call the park today to reserve your spot. Due to the limit of 15 people per tour, large groups who want to reserve spaces must have each family reserve their own space. We cannot guarantee that families from the same group will be on the same tour.

The event is FREE and OPEN to the public. For a full listing of event details, please stay connected to us on Facebook at www.facebook.com/moorescreeknps or visit our website at www.nps.gov/mocr. Event information will be posted as it becomes available. To promote our staff and visitors’ safety, masks are required in all NPS buildings, including the Moores Creek National Battlefield Visitor Center and Patriots Hall, regardless of location or vaccination status. In addition, the group sizes have been reduced to 15 people and there will be no cider offered this year for the public. Additionally, masks must be worn in outdoor spaces where physical distancing cannot be maintained, such as narrow or busy trails and overlooks.
