Bentonville Battlefield State Historic Site marks the site of the largest land battle fought in North Carolina during the American Civil War and one of the last engagements of the entire war. Today the battlefield retains much of its wartime appearance. The soldiers who struggled here would recognize this land and be able to say, “I know this place, I was here at Bentonville.”

We cordially invite you to become a member of the Friends of Bentonville Battlefield and help us preserve this land and tell the story of the men who fought and died here.
