Question: Does the Revolutionary War-era Guilford County Courthouse still exist?
Answer: No, it no longer exists. The modest wooden courthouse, built around 1775 near the 1781 battle site, fell into disrepair after the county seat moved to Greensboro circa 1808. It was demolished in the mid-1800s. Today, Guilford Courthouse National Military Park preserves the battlefield but has no remnants of the original courthouse.
Bonus info: What you will find are 250 acres of preserved battlefield landscape. Start at the visitor center to view exhibits, films, and maps. Then walk or drive the scenic Tour Road and trails, where you can view 29 monuments honoring soldiers and leaders. You’ll also find outdoor interpretive panels, artillery positions, and the historic Hoskins Farmstead site. Take advantage of self-guided audio tours via the National Park Service app, and walk peaceful wooded paths that navigate the 1781 battle.
