PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT
In light of the increasing development surrounding Poplar Grove, we are utilizing this time to solidify ourselves as an integral and vital part of the community.
Poplar Grove will operate Daily Tours on a limited scheduled, beginning Wednesday, May 15th. The historic site will be open Wednesdays only during the month of May, from 9:30 AM (open) – 2 PM (close). Tours on the hour starting at 10 AM. Last tour of the day is at 1 PM.
In the meantime, we are taking this opportunity to design a blueprint that expands upon our mission and further develops the daily tour program, school field trips, heritage arts spaces, permanent exhibits, gift shop, farmers’ market and stables.
In 2024, we will be relocating the main entrance, admissions, and gift shop; restructuring the tour program, school program and farmers’ market; adding information boards, new pathways, and parking.
We hope to create a green and open space in which visitors can interact with history, culture, and the arts, and provide a greater opportunity for the public to come together as a community.
We invite you to be part of the process! We will be updating the public on these exciting new developments via our social media platforms throughout the spring.
Consider visiting Moores Creek Battlefield – Pender County’s Revolutionary War site, if you have not yet had a chance to do so. North Carolina is First In Freedom for a reason. We look forward to celebrating this Nation’s 250th Anniversary in 2026!
Thank you for supporting conservation, education, and preservation.
