Greensboro is a fun town, but there *really* is not much at the battlefield park. It's a nice park to walk in, and the historical context is interesting, but there's not much there to see.

Once or twice a year, they do some re-enactments. Those are worth attending, certainly. But - if I came a long way to visit the battlefield, I think that I'd leave disappointed.

I've not been to the library yet.

What did you think of King’s Mountain and Cowpens?

I found Cowpens a bit surprising. The which behind which some of the American forces hid from Tarleton’s view before they were needed seemed surprisingly low. Otherwise, the battlefield looked a lot as I imagined it.

King’s Mountain looks a lot like the way it was described - a large hilly area fully forested and the grave of Ferguson in the mdist of the wildnerness was pretty moving. I wonder why the Brits never moved his body back to England.
