North Carolina Civil War Trail Site at Elkin

The trails are the old roads that soldiers used and they feature numerous sites that tell the story of the Civil War. They run from forts Fisher and Macon at the Atlantic coast to the western mountains of North Carolina. Within Surry County, there are three designated civil war sites: one at the York Tavern in Rockford, one in downtown Elkin, and one at the Battle of Siloam site along the Yadkin River.
