On April 6th, 2024, Bentonville Battlefield is hosting a Park Day event for volunteers and staff to work together to maintain the hallowed ground of Bentonville Battlefield. Join us for a day to give back and to explore the largest battlefield in North Carolina!
This annual event brings history enthusiasts together in an effort to help keep our nation’s heritage not only preserved but pristine. Since 1996, the American Battlefield Trust has sponsored Park Day, an annual hands-on preservation event to help Civil War — and now Revolutionary War & War of 1812 — battlefields and historic sites take on maintenance projects large and small. Activities are chosen by each participating site to meet their own particular needs and can range from raking leaves and hauling trash to painting signs and building trails.
Park Day 2024 will be Saturday, April 6, 2024 and we will meet at 9:30 at the Bentonville Battlefield Visitor Center, located at 5466 Harper House Rd. Four Oaks, NC 27524.
