160TH ANNIVERSARY
The Battle of Bentonville

Bentonville, NC

March 15 - 16, 2025

Ten years after his first trip, our own First Sergeant Moyer (a/k/a Jeff Speight) made the 10+ hour ride to North Carolina for the 160th anniversary of the Battle of Bentonville. Unfortunately, unlike a decade earlier, this event was cut short due to bad weather on Sunday but the Saturday schedule went according to plan including the traditional digging of the trenches with tin plates. And while there was no action on Sunday, Sergeant Moyer was able to explore the battlefield before heading back north.
