History starts at home
I wanted you to know what a great job the Parks and Recreation Department did with the Battle of Guilford Courthouse. Speaking to many of the participants gave me a better view of how much they appreciated what our city did for them — some 800-plus strong.
We are very fortunate to have this event because of the far-reaching effect it had on our country. People should realize how lucky we are to have history right in our back yards.
Evidently, this is a life-long hobby for many participants and I was told how much they like Greensboro, and might return here to live. In any event, congratulations to Greensboro and the U.S. Park Service.

Having the battle framed by a steel and glass office building is a step backwards, IMO.
Anyone know why the parks dept. moved the battle and encampment from Country Park to the old JP club property?
