Abstract:

Guilford County is best known for Battle of Guilford Courthouse, but other places and events exist and have taken place within its boundaries. Beautiful Brandt Lake is considered one of the loveliest lakes in the Piedmont. Also of interest is the Bruce Plantation, the colonial homestead of Charles Bruce, a member of the committee that framed the North Carolina Constitution, and the Oak Ridge Military Institute, established in 1852. Guilford County is also the home of Guilford College, established by the Society of Friends in 1837.
