Not for Want of Courage but for Want of Experience: The Brief but Brutal Engagement at Kettle Creek
Even though Kettle Creek is the site of Georgia's largest Patriot victory, the exact details of the February 1779 battle still remain shrouded by time. Using original research, the latest scientific findings, and more than a decade of experience studying and understanding historic American battle sites, Winterville's Cultural Heritage Director Jonathan Scott will present his theories on how the battle unfolded along the slope of Kettle Creek.
To commemorate 250 years of American independence, the City of Winterville has launched a series of exhibits, programs, and special events in honor of our country's birthday, including a monthly guided tour of the Kettle Creek battlefield. Attendees to this program that register for a tour before the evening ends will receive a $5 discount off the normal tour price of $25!
