Bentonville Battlefield State Historic Site - State park in Four Oaks - 5466 Harper House Rd, USA

We visited Bentonville Battlefield State Park in North Carolina. It is very interesting history to me. I was unaware of the large battle that took place here. We stopped in the visitor's center, looked around and watched a 15 minute movie about the history leading up to the battle. Unfortunately, the Harper house was closed for restoration work. However, we did get a tour of the grounds and outbuilding. Our tour guide was informative and provided a good picture of the history of the battlefield and the Harper house. There is a self guided motor tour to different sections of the battlefield and surrounding area, that is about 10 miles. We tried a couple stops, but we didn't get good enough cell phone coverage to be able to hear about the sites. I like historical places of interest and this was a good visit to part of our nation's history. At the visitor's center, there is a vending machine for drinks, restrooms and picnic tables. We visited on a Tuesday morning and there weren't a lot of people. By the time we left the visitor's center, several more people had arrived.

Great stop to learn about the Civil War battle field in N.C. As this is my 1st time ever being near Civil War stuff, I enjoyed the opportunity to learn more. There was a visitor center and an informational movie.

The park looked interesting, but when they state gates close at 5 and you park at 4, they mean buildings will close at 4:15. It's a little disappointing, but I did get to park on "overflow" outside the gate and tour the monuments. I'll go back and look in the house when I can spend more time. Although it is primarily a Confederate battle memorial site, there is information and a monument dedicated to Union soldiers who fought and fell there.

Great outdoor experience. Good home restoration and museum. Lots of walking trails.

It’s always amazing to visit Historical Landmarks and Bentonville Battlefield Historic Park is one of them. there was no entrance fee when we visited, and there was a Volunteer. Tour guide that show us around the Historic House, I’d say it was worth a visit and a good experience to see the actual Battlefield tour.

Impressed by our experience here! The workers in the visitor center were so nice and helpful! We took our time and explored all the battlefield had to offer. I loved being able to dial in for the phone guided tour. We went on the driving tour as well! Just an awesome visit with tons of information!

Guided tours of the battle sights. Cemetery is a mass grave sight. Well maintained grounds with handicap access. There's also a visitors center with maps and souvenirs. The main house was used as a makeshift hospital during the battle. There is also a separate kitchen for the house that you can check out. A workers cabin can also be seen. The house well is capped off.

Nicely preserved battlefield in which one can walk and explore sections of the battlefields, trails, cemeteries, and check out the museum (check hours of operation). This is the site of the largest Civil War battles in North Carolina, but it is often overlooked as significant because Lee surrendered to Grant just a few weeks after the last shots were fired here. A fascinating and horrific time in this country. I am glad this and other sites are preserved so those that follow May remember and learn from the past.
