North Carolina Civil War Trail now open

Phase 1 of the North Carolina Civil War Trail, featuring more than 80 newly interpreted sites, is open. The centerpiece of the Trail is a driving tour of the 1865 Carolinas Campaign following many of the roads the soldiers used. That tour includes the battlefields at Bentonville and Averasboro and the site of the surrender of the Confederate army near Durham. Other sites included in this first phase relate to the early Federal occupation of the eastern part of the state, Confederate ironclads, coastal fortifications, the Confederate supply lifeline, hospitals and prisons. The next phase of the Trail will focus on the western part of the state.
