Visitors can enjoy a peek into Revolutionary War history while embarking on a natural expedition through the picturesque inland regions of the Cape Fear area with a visit to Moores Creek National Battlefield. Famed as the site of the February 27, 1776 battle, where 1,000 North Carolina patriots claimed victory and ended British rule in the colony forever, the site is a lesser-known but remarkable representation of a heroic chapter in local history.
The National Park Service battlefield site features a number of monuments that pay tribute to this historic feat, which can all be admired with an easy walk along the History Trail that runs through the park. This scenic route is also a popular destination for birdwatchers, thanks to wooden boardwalks and reconstructed bridges that overlook the pristine Moores Creek. The park also features a picnic area with shelter, a “Patriots Hall” for special educational programs, restrooms, and a Visitors Center where patrons can learn more about the battle. Located in the small town of Currie, which is found just north of Wilmington and the coastal beaches, the Moores Creek National Battlefield may be a little out of the way for central Wilmington visitors, but is worth a stop for the iconic history and beautifully natural vistas in every direction.

Southport can easily serve as a launching point for a myriad of shelling adventures. From this small community on the Cape Fear River, visitors can board a ferry to Bald Head Island, Fort Fisher, or even take a cruise to smaller and lesser-known island destinations like Zeke’s Island Reserve. As a result, visitors will find that a myriad of shelling beaches are just a short boat ride (or drive) away, leading to miles of shoreline to explore, and long sun-filled days of combing and enjoying the local beaches.
Fort Johnston is a remarkable visitors’ center and museum that has deep historic roots in the early years of Southport’s long and storied history. Located on the edge of the waterfront downtown area along Bay Street, the stoic and regal looking brick structure, complete with four two-story white pillars, is an imposing but impressive site in this historic corner of the Cape Fear coastline.
