Greensboro, NC - Until further notice, Guilford Courthouse National Military Park is temporarily closed to the public, due to damage from the Feb. 13, 2021 ice storm. The ice caused significant damage to trees within the park impacting powerlines, trails, the loop tour road, and the parking lot at the intersection of Old Battleground and New Garden Roads. This damage poses significant safety risks to park visitors from downed or falling trees, blocked roads and trails, and downed and broken electric lines. As a result, all park facilities and grounds are closed at this time. An estimated date for the park’s reopening remains unknown and the park will remain closed until the National Park Service can assess and remove the damage. Updates on the park’s operational status will be made throughout the week to the park’s web page and social media.
