Sandbar Lecture: Cape Fear American Revolution Campaign

Dive into the history of Southeastern North Carolina during the American Revolution in this month’s Museum of Coastal Carolina Sandbar Lecture. The 1776 Cape Fear Campaign was the first British invasion of the South and included the Battle of Moore’s Creek, a historic time that was a catalyst for American colonists’ ultimate independence.

Sandbar Lecture facilitator Jim McKee is a life-long student of history and graduate of Greensboro College. He is the site manager at Brunswick Town/Ft. Anderson State Historic Site. Previously, he has worked for the National Park Service and the NC Maritime Museum at Southport.

The Sandbar Lecture Series brings local experts to speak about topics ranging from our coastal environment to Outer Banks history. Sandbar lectures are free with Museum admission.
