    Guilford Courthouse National Military Park Cultural Landscape

    Guilford Courthouse National Military Park

    NPS

    On March 15, 1781, within three hours of the Battle of Guilford Courthouse in what is now Greensboro, North Carolina, the British Army took control of the field and drove out the opposing American forces. This fight constituted part of the British campaign for the Carolinas during the Revolutionary War. Victory over the American Army, led by American Major-General Nathanael Greene, came at a high cost. The losses -- disproportionately incurred by the British -- contributed to General Cornwallis’s decision to abandon North Carolina and move north to ultimate defeat in Yorktown. Referred to as a ‘pyrrhic victory,’ the events at Guilford Courthouse influenced the outcome of the American Revolution.

    The Guilford Courthouse Historic Landscape is important for its association with the consequential battle and also for enhancing the understanding of the strategies employed by American forces at the time. Much of the landscape retains integrity, or the ability to convey its historical significance, through extant features. The topographic features, battle sites, and the historic Salisbury Road (New Garden Road) remain intact, contributing to the setting, feeling, association, materials, location, workmanship, and design associated with the period of significance

    What does the next decade hold for Downtown Greensboro? Downtown Greensboro Inc., in partnership with the City of Greensboro and Guilford County developed a new strategic action plan for the future of Downtown. The 2030 Vision Plan outlines goals, strategies and “Big moves” that will shape Downtown for the next 10 years. With an emphasis on “action,” the plan lays out clear steps to achieve our shared goals. We encourage you to review the plan.
    Community Participation
    In late 2019, we undertook a community-wide effort to collect public input for the Vision Plan. For several months, we met with residents, business and property owners, students, employers, young professionals and more to gather ideas and inspiration for the Vision Plan. In November 2020, two community workshops and a series of stakeholder meetings were held to collect input from more than 200 participants. From December 2019 – February 2020, in-person pop up events were held in each city council district in coordination with an online survey conducted to gain feedback from residents across the city. 1200 residents participated in the survey. This process sought to ensure broad-based feedback from a cross-section of community members and stakeholders in Greensboro.
    A follow-up online survey was conducted during July-August 2020 with over 600 respondents to capture new ideas and gauge changing perspectives as a result of the pandemic. It was important to the process, to take the pulse of the community to assess current priorities and ensure our plan was responding to, and appropriate for, the profound changes we’ve all experience the last several months. Ideas and information collected from the Greensboro community informed the vision, goals and strategies that form the backbone of the Plan.

    Founded in 1941 by Gregory Ivy, the first chairperson of the Art Department at Woman’s College (now UNC Greensboro), the Weatherspoon Art Museum has grown from a university teaching gallery to a fully professional institution that is nationally recognized for its excellent collections, dynamic exhibition program, and exceptional teaching and learning. The museum serves a broad audience of approximately 36,000 visitors annually, including UNCG students, faculty, and staff; the Piedmont Triad communities; and visitors from across the state, region, and nation. The museum was accredited by the American Association of Museums in 1995 and earned reaccreditation status in 2005 and 2015.

    Since its inception, the Weatherspoon has focused on building a collection of modern and contemporary art that is one of the best in the Southeast. Numbering nearly 7,000 works, the collection represents all major art movements from the beginning of the 20th century to the present. Maria Berrio, Huma Bhabha, Elizabeth Catlett, Nick Cave, Enrique Martínez Celaya, Willem de Kooning, Eva Hesse, Cindy Sherman, Andy Warhol, and Ai Weiwei are just a few of the major artists represented. Other highlights include the Dillard Collection of Art on Paper, the Etta and Claribel Cone Collection, and the Lenoir C. Wright Collection of Japanese Prints.

    The Weatherspoon’s exhibitions offer visitors the opportunity to see and learn directly from significant examples of modern and contemporary art. The schedule showcases work by outstanding artists of national and international reputation; thematic exhibitions on timely aesthetic, cultural, and social issues; focused exhibitions of emerging artists; selections from the collection; UNCG MFA thesis shows; and Falk Visiting Artist exhibitions, a collaborative program with the UNCG School of Art.

    The museum’s educational offerings include staff and docent-led tours; gallery talks, lectures, and panel discussions; social events; and outreach efforts, publications, and hands-on workshops. The museum has enjoyed strong regional and national reviews in outlets such as Art Daily, Art Papers, Artforum, Art on Paper, Art in America, and Blouin Artinfo.
