As a part of the Greensboro Bicentennial Torch Run (a four-day event taking place March 25-28), there will be an unveiling a new statue of General Greene:

Location: Roundabout at Greene and McGee Streets
Time:    Wednesday, March 26
Music by the Guilford Courthouse Fife & Drum Corps beginning around 6:00 pm
Program and end of torch run around 6:30 pm
Event ends around 7:05 pm
Event:   Includes music, ceremonial end of that day’s torch run, musket firing by the Kirkwood Delaware Regiment re-enactors, pledge of allegiance, remarks and Official Unveiling by Mayor Johnson and Shirley Frye.
Parking:  Best place is probably the Greene Street Deck, but anywhere downtown.  Greene and McGee in the immediate area of the roundabout will be blocked off from 3:00-8:00pm.
We believe General Nathanael Greene has been unjustly under-adored during the last 200 years and that there’s no time like the present to remedy the situation.  Accordingly, this bronze statute, built to last by artist Jim Barnhill of Greensboro, is 11.5 feet tall and the granite pedestal it stands on adds yet another 10 feet (and weighs 30,000 pounds).  Like the redcoats, cars will either learn not to tangle with this guy or run yelping off to Yorktown.  Don’t miss a minute of the drama!
