The Crossing of the Dan, Grand Opening: July 26, 2008

The "retreat" to the Dan that began in January 1781 at the Cowpens battlefield in South Carolina had transformed into a "race to the Dan after the Council of War at Guilford Court House in present day Greensboro, North Carolina. With the Crossing of the Dan River at Irwin's and Boyd's ferries in Halifax County, Virginia, by General Nathanael Greene on February 14, 1781, the winning of this race can be described as the beginning of the end for the British Lt. General Charles Cornwallis led British army. The upcoming exhibit for this event will become one of the highlights in the history of the Southern Campaign of the Revolutionary War.
