About the event
WEATHER UPDATE: Due to Saturday's forecasted inclement weather, the Park has cancelled all outdoor activities. The Guest Speakers will present as scheduled in the Visitors Center Auditorium. The Wilmington Police Pipes & Drums and Highland Dancers will perform as scheduled in Patriot's Hall.
This year’s program will be centered around the acclaimed Outlander book series. We will give tours discussing the difference between Diana Gabaldon’s take on the Battle of Moores Creek Bridge and actual events. We will have Highland Soldiers, colonial trades such as blacksmithing, Scottish dancers, guest speakers, bagpipers and more.
Scheduled times for guest speakers will be posted in the next couple of weeks. Visit https://www.nps.gov/planyourvisit/event-details.htm?id=91F907EB-0CF7-B8D7-524D72EC918CC724 for more information.
The SSOW will have an information table and several of our members will be participating in programs throughout the day.
