Tannenbaum Historic Park is a park that tells the story of everyday life in the back country of North Carolina during the eighteenth century. 

History:

Like many families of the colonial era, the Hoskins family had been devastated by the American Revolution. When the revolution started the family was living on a farm in Pennsylvania. To escape the difficulties of the war the Hoskins family packed up and moved to the Piedmont region of North Carolina. Their new home was located near a little wooden country courthouse named Guilford. For about three years everything was looking up for the family, until 1781 when war arrived on their doorsteps once again. In February, when both the American and British armies swept through the area during the famed "Race to the Dan." Shortly after that swept through the Battle of Guilford Courthouse began. The farm of course suffered damage but the family stayed strong and stayed there for many years to come. 

The Park:

Tannenbaum Historic Park preserves a clapboard-faced log cabin built by members of the family in the early 1800's. Around it, a forge, barn and kitchen recreate the farm as it appeared during the battle. They have interpretive panels that tell the story of the farm and its role in the American Revolution. There is also a Colonial Heritage Center located on the grounds which is a fascinating museum that shows more information of the Battle of Guilford Courthouse. 

Visit:

It is located at 2200 New Garden Road in Greensboro, North Carolina, near the entrance to the Guilford Courthouse National Military Park. They are open Sunday through Saturday from 8:30 am until 5:00 pm.
