Alamance Battleground

On this site in 1771 an armed rebellion of backcountry farmers - called Regulators - battled against royal governor William Tryon's militia. Touring the 18th-century Allen House and battlefield monuments and viewing the visitor center multimedia presentation gives a vivid account of the early battle and the pressures of colonial policies that precipitated the revolt.
