The famous battlefield in Guilford, North Carolina is Guilford Courthouse. The Battle of Guilford Courthouse was fought on March 15, 1781, during the American Revolution. The battle was fought between the British forces under General Charles Cornwallis and the American forces under General Nathanael Greene. Although the British won the battle, it was a Pyrrhic victory, as the losses they suffered were so great that they had to abandon their campaign in the Carolinas and retreat to Virginia.

Guilford Courthouse National Military Park, which is maintained by the National Park Service, is located at the site of the battle. The park includes the battlefield, historical monuments, and a visitor center with exhibits and audiovisual programs about the battle and its significance.
