In addition to historical themes, the event has provided other fun and interesting things to do for the entire family, such as a Ghost Walk Tour for several years and Horse and Pony Rides. As experience is gained hosting the Living History event, the Averasboro Battlefield Commission trys to make each progressive one bigger and better than the last, with different activties added each time.

Cycle NC 2009 Averasboro Stop
The Cycle NC group came to Harnett County recently (October 1) and more specifically the Averasboro Battlefield Museum. This group of over 1000 has made Averasboro a stop on previous trips bicycling across North Carolina, but there were many first time visitors to the Museum this time. The CNC Staff recently wrote Averasboro Museum a note saying "The Cycle North Carolina Staff would like to thank you for hosting a rest stop on our 'Mountains to the Coast' fall ride. Your memorial and museum provided a great place for the cyclists to relax and refuel for their trip. I heard from many that this was their favorite rest stop! Thanks for your hospitality!"
