Kings Mountain National Military Park

This is a reschedule of last Sunday’s event.
Kings Mountain National Military Park commemorates the battle of Kings Mountain (October 7, 1780), an important victory by American patriots over American loyalists during the southern campaign of the Revolutionary War. A one and a half mile paved trail leads from the visitor center around the base of the mountain along the patriot lines and ascends to the crest where the loyalists were positioned. The trail passes several monuments and placards explaining events at those locations. The visitor’s center contains an excellent museum that provides detailed background information.

The address is 2300 Park Road, Blacksburg, SC. We will meet at the visitors center at 1:00 and hike the paved trail. At 3:00, we will head to the town of Kings Mountain and meet at Los Tarascos restaurant (706 York Road) for food and camaraderie. Join us for a day of hiking, history and margaritas!
