Beginning in the morning of October 14, 1780, the Battle of Shallow Ford was a turning point for Patriots during the American Revolution, impacting the people of both sides of the Yadkin and along the Great Wagon Road to the early Moravian settlements. This story is a part of the true "Common Ground" on which "We The People" began.

The story, unfolding during a time where there were no cameras, cell phones or even a typewriter, is told through the eyes of artists - field correspondents who would paint, draw or write a journal in the same historic manner - as Artists.

“The Battle of Shallow Ford: An Exhibition of Words and Watercolors” is presented by The Lewisville Area Arts Council with volunteer help from The Battle of Shallow Ford NSDAR and will travel to host venues and towns throughout 2025-2026. It is sponsored through America250 NC Community Grants. It is part of the two year celebration of America’s 250th Anniversary through America 250 North Carolina.

The May - June dates are in our hometown of Lewisville, NC from May 12 - June 30 and will include a multi venue DAY on Saturday, May 10 from 11:30 AM - 4:30 PM at the Lewisville Library (Lucy Lane/Shallowford Rd) AND Historic Nissen House (213 Arrow Leaf Dr)!

Receptions will be held at both locations and include activities for preschool to adults! Events are free.

Additionally there will be an all ages Homeschool “Historical Art” Day on Saturday, June 14 at the Lewisville Library. Email [email protected] for more info and to register! The event is free.
