Alamance Battleground, State historic site in Burlington, North Carolina.
The 40-acre battlefield features markers indicating battle positions, monuments, a replica cannon, and informational plaques detailing the 1771 conflict.
The North Carolina militia, under Governor William Tryon, engaged in a two-hour battle against backcountry farmers known as Regulators on May 16, 1771.
