Alamance County America 250 Kick Off March 7 at Alamance Battleground

State and local partners will present an Alamance County kickoff for North Carolina’s America 250 activities at Alamance Battleground State Historic Site on Saturday, March 7, 2026, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. EST. The daylong program is billed as a combination of living history and lecture programming designed to mark the forthcoming 250th anniversary of American independence and to draw attention to the county’s Revolutionary-era landmarks.

The event listing advises readers to “Save the Date! The Alamance County America 250 NC Celebration will take place at Alamance Battleground on Saturday, March 7th.” It adds: “Join us for an inspiring day featuring engaging lectures and living history demonstrations, all in celebration of the upcoming 250th anniversary of America’s independence.” Organizers also note: “More details to come—stay tuned!”

The program is listed on the North Carolina Department of Natural & Cultural Resources events calendar. State and local partners are identified broadly in promotional materials; the department and the nonprofit Alamance Battleground Friends, Inc. are cited as involved organizations. For media or program details, the listed contact is Nathan Schultz at alamance@dncr.nc.gov. The DNCR contact block on the listing includes the department’s physical address at 109 E. Jones Street, Raleigh, NC 27601, and mailing address at 4601 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-4600.

Alamance Battleground’s site features provide context for the kickoff. The park invites visitors to “Experience History like a Local” and offers trails, a self-guided tour, outdoor exhibits, and a picnic area. Visitors can “Step back in time to the days of the American Revolution through a visit to this log dwelling built in 1780,” referencing the Allen House, and can “View colonial era and Allen House artifacts. Delve deeper into the battle by purchasing a book” at the visitors center. The walking tour map directs users to “View the field of battle where Governor Tryon commanded and the hillside where the Regulators stood,” grounding the America 250 programming in site geography and interpretation.

Local civic groups and volunteers organized through Alamance Battleground Friends, Inc. are expected to play a role; the nonprofit’s stated mission is to “provide educational opportunities for visitors to learn about the events that took place on this historic site and their impact on the American Revolution.” The DNCR event listing shows one registered expression of interest, naming Russell Whitt.

One minor discrepancy appears on site pages: the battleground’s calendar header lists “2025 Upcoming Adventures” while the event is listed for March 7, 2026. The March 7, 2026 date and 10 a.m.–4 p.m. time should be treated as authoritative for planning purposes.

For residents, the kickoff is a visible opportunity to connect civic memory, local historic sites, and volunteer or membership opportunities at Alamance Battleground. To confirm speakers, demonstration schedules, admission or registration details, or volunteer and vendor opportunities, contact Nathan Schultz at alamance@dncr.nc.gov. The event sets the stage for further county and statewide America 250 programming and offers an occasion to engage directly with Alamance County’s Revolutionary-era story.
