“War at Our Doorstep”

Paddy’s Creek Area

Come join the living history reenactment “War at Our Doorstep,” to take place June 4-5 at the Paddy’s Creek Area day use area at Lake James State Park.

Demonstrators and reenactors will interpret stories from the American Revolution, with characters representing life for those Americans behind the front lines. A period encampment will be erected midday, June 4, and run through 4 p.m., June 5. Interpretive stations throughout the camp will include gunpowder manufacturing, civilian doctors and women in military medicine, and Moravians, Quakers and Pacifist communities in North Carolina during the war.

The event is held in cooperation with the Friends of Lake James Park, the National Park Service and the Overmountain Victory Trail Association.
