Even at the height of the Revolutionary War, it was a peaceful land of few residents and even fewer battles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But there are a few great stories to explore, like the legend of the natural healing springs and the Indian trader who died while held captive in his own house. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Go for a road trip along U.S. Highway 78 between I-95 and I-20, following the route of the Charleston to Hamburg Railroad, and learn about the American Revolution along the way. Discover charming small towns with local food, artwork, and hiking trails. Then, spend a night or two in Aiken, where you can learn about one of South Carolina\u2019s most underrated destinations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group sponsored-box\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img data-dominant-color=\"dacdcd\" data-has-transparency=\"true\" style=\"--dominant-color: #dacdcd;\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"840\" height=\"260\" data-pin-url=\"https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/revolutionary-war-road-trip-thoroughbred-country\/?tp_image_id=70832\" src=\"https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/thoroughbred-country.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-70832 has-transparency\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/thoroughbred-country.png 840w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/thoroughbred-country-390x121.png 390w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/thoroughbred-country-768x238.png 768w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/thoroughbred-country-150x46.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 840px) 100vw, 840px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-small-font-size\">This post is proudly sponsored by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tbredcountry.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Thoroughbred Country<\/a> and South Carolina Association of Tourism Regions.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\t\t<section data-elementor-type=\"section\" data-elementor-id=\"27930\" class=\"elementor elementor-27930\" data-elementor-post-type=\"elementor_library\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c478303 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"c478303\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-afb5e21 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"afb5e21\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-894aa4e e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"894aa4e\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-df83c1e elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"df83c1e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">do you love<\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3badda2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"3badda2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">road trips?<\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9eef3ab elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"9eef3ab\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Sign up and be the first to read new road trip itineraries and destination guides.<\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2c372a9 elementor-mobile-button-align-stretch elementor-button-align-stretch elementor-widget elementor-widget-form\" data-id=\"2c372a9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;button_width&quot;:&quot;20&quot;,&quot;step_next_label&quot;:&quot;Next&quot;,&quot;step_previous_label&quot;:&quot;Previous&quot;,&quot;step_type&quot;:&quot;number_text&quot;,&quot;step_icon_shape&quot;:&quot;circle&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"form.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<form class=\"elementor-form\" method=\"post\" name=\"New Form\">\n\t\t\t<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"post_id\" value=\"27930\"\/>\n\t\t\t<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"form_id\" value=\"2c372a9\"\/>\n\t\t\t<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"referer_title\" value=\"Road Trips &amp;

At a leisurely pace, it takes about 15 minutes to arrive in Branchville. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 1828, a railroad junction was built on the country\u2019s first railroad line between Charleston and Hamburg, a ghost town now consumed by North Augusta. The junction still exists, though passenger trains no longer travel those rails. The town\u2019s only attraction is the Southern Railway Passenger Depot. Built in 1877, it served passengers for decades and is now listed on the National Register of Historic Places. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>READ MORE: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/road-trip-revolutionary-war-old-96\/\">Road Trip Exploring the Revolutionary War in South Carolina\u2019s Old 96 District (Part 4)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\t\t<div data-elementor-type=\"section\" data-elementor-id=\"47637\" class=\"elementor elementor-47637\" data-elementor-post-type=\"elementor_library\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b317ab2 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"b317ab2\" data-element_type=\"container\" id=\"mediavine-advertisement-desktop\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-91875b8 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"91875b8\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-450af8e elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"450af8e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">advertisement<\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7685227 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7685227\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"content_hint\">\u00a0<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-destination-1\">Destination<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"bamberg\">Bamberg<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In another twenty minutes along US Highway 78, just before arriving in Bamberg, the road parallels the abandoned railroad that once connected Charleston and Hamberg.

In 1897, Elizabeth Evelyn Wright founded Denmark Industrial School for African Americans, modeled after the Tuskegee Institute in Alabama. When New Jersey philanthropist Ralph Voorhees donated funds for the land and buildings, the school was renamed in his honor. Today, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.voorhees.edu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Voorhees University<\/a> is a private, historically black university offering bachelor\u2019s and master\u2019s degrees. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/jimharrison.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jim Harrison Gallery<\/a> stands at the intersection in the middle of town. Harrison\u2019s first canvas was the side of a hardware store, where he retouched a Coca-Cola sign, the first of over a hundred in his early career. In the 1970s, he began selling limited edition paintings in a small shop in his hometown \u2013 but you\u2019ll need to call ahead to book an appointment. <\/p>\n\n\n\t\t<div

But at the start of the American Revolution, Loyalists demanded their allegiance, forcing the brothers to flee the state for a plantation in South Carolina. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the 1770s, Charles Hammond built a magnificent home on a bluff overlooking the Savannah River. LeRoy and his son LeRoy Jr. operated a ferry across the river. But the family could not escape the Revolutionary War entirely \u2013 by the end of the war, three generations of the family served in the Continental Army or local militias. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Samuel Hammond was one of the most prominent members of the family. He served as a lieutenant colonel during the Revolutionary War, leading men at Hanging Rock, Musgrove\u2019s Mill, Kings Mountain, Cowpens, and Augusta. In 1805, President Thomas Jefferson appointed Hammond as the Colonel Commandant of the St. Louis District in the Louisiana Territory and later as the first governor of the Missouri Territory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Initially, the Hammonds were buried in separate cemeteries. But when North Augusta began work on Riverview Park, some of their bodies were reinterred in the Hammond Family Cemetery beside the Charles Hammond House. Colonel LeRoy Hammond and his son Captain LeRoy Hammond are buried with other family members. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Charles Hammond House is undergoing extensive renovation, transforming the historic house into a bed and breakfast. Guests will be able to spend a night in the house of a Revolutionary War Patriot built just before the American Revolution. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"south-carolina-revolutionary-war-road-trips\">South Carolina Revolutionary War Road Trips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Read the other articles in this 10-part series:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/road-trip-revolutionary-war-olde-english-district\/\">Part 1 &#8211;
