A “state park-like” sign at the highway entrance is one on several features added to the battlefield site in recent years with support from the Brier Creek Revolutionary War Battlefield Association.

The Brier Creek Revolutionary War Battlefield Association reports receiving a $6,000 grant from the Southern Culture Foundation to continue the association's work in documenting the field of the 1779 battle and improving its park-like features as a publicly accessible site with historic significance.
