Explore the battlefields, historic sites, and museums with this 10-part series of road trips across the state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-1 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-text-align-center wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/revolutionary-war\/\">Revolutionary War Travel Guides<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Throughout the American Revolution, South Carolina&#8217;s Upcountry was a sparsely populated frontier boundary between the Charleston elites and Native Americans. Despite the lack of settlements \u2013 or maybe because of it \u2013 some of the most significant battles happened in this region. When British agents entered the area and threatened its inhabitants, they responded. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And it turned the tide of the war in favor of the Patriots. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This road trip loosely follows the I-85 corridor from Charlotte to Greenville, passing through Gaffney and Spartanburg. The route includes a two-hour drive on the scenic Cherokee Foothills Scenic Byway, a possible detour into North Carolina, and two national park units preserving Revolutionary War battlefields.

In mid-1780, Ferguson threatened militias west of the Appalachian Mountains, declaring &#8220;he would march his army over the mountains, hang their leaders, and lay their country waste with fire and sword.&#8221; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The threat did little to dissuade the militias from mustering and instead hastened them into action. In September 1780, Colonels William Campbell, Isaac Shelby, John Sevier, and Joseph Winston mustered men from modern-day Virginia, Tennessee, and North Carolina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The &#8220;Overmountain Men&#8221; began a 330-mile march to confront Ferguson on Kings Mountain in a pivotal battle that changed the course of the American Revolution. <\/p>\n\n\n\t\t<div data-elementor-type=\"section\" data-elementor-id=\"59872\" class=\"elementor elementor-59872\" data-elementor-post-type=\"elementor_library\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6a93b79 elementor-hidden-desktop elementor-hidden-tablet e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"6a93b79\" data-element_type=\"container\" id=\"mediavine-advertisement-mobile\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f47d793 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"f47d793\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b537ca5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"b537ca5\" 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-9cd65f6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"9cd65f6\" 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\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group did-you-know\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Did You Know?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When the Overmountain Victory National Historic Trail was established in 1980, it was the first national historic trail on the east coast.

Travelers along the popular commuter highway recognize Gaffney as the home of The Peachoid \u2013 a 135-foot-tall water tower resembling a peach that&#8217;s become a roadside icon for selfies. But there is more to Gaffney than just a one-million-gallon metallic peach. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 1804, Irish immigrant Michael Gaffney traveled from Charleston into the South Carolina backcountry. He built a tavern at the intersection of two trading routes between the mountains, Charleston, Charlotte, and Georgia. By 1875, Gaffney&#8217;s Crossroads officially became Gaffney. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group highlight\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mark Your Calendar <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The annual South Carolina Peach Festival is held Thursday \u2013 Sunday in the middle of July.

When the Revolutionary War officially began, he was appointed a lieutenant colonel of the local militia. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Williams fought in regional skirmishes and commanded a unit at the Battle of Musgrove&#8217;s Mill in August 1781.

Williams was killed in the final charge against Ferguson&#8217;s Loyalists. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 1915, Williams&#8217; body was reinterred to an anachronistic monument before the historic Carnegie Library in Gaffney.

The first thirty miles pass through Piedmont farmlands, leading to Cowpens National Battlefield.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After the Fall of Charleston in May 1780 and the disastrous Battle of Camden a few months later in August, the British were in near-complete control of South Carolina. But the Battle of Kings Mountain in October changed everything. Thomas Jefferson recalled the pivotal battle as the &#8220;turn of the tide of success.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t<div data-elementor-type=\"section\" data-elementor-id=\"59872\" class=\"elementor elementor-59872\" data-elementor-post-type=\"elementor_library\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6a93b79 elementor-hidden-desktop elementor-hidden-tablet e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"6a93b79\" data-element_type=\"container\" id=\"mediavine-advertisement-mobile\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f47d793 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"f47d793\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b537ca5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"b537ca5\" 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-9cd65f6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"9cd65f6\" 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\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\n\n\n<p>Militias commanded by Francis Marion, Thomas Sumter, and Andrew Pickens pinned British General Lord Cornwallis in South Carolina. But when reinforcements arrived in Charleston in early 1781, he planned to move into North Carolina. General Nathanael Greene, the new commander of the Southern Department, split his army with Colonel Daniel Morgan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cornwallis sent Lieutenant Colonel Banastre Tarleton after Morgan. But the &#8220;Old Wagoner&#8221; didn&#8217;t retreat from a fight. Relying on scouting from Pickens, Morgan devised a plan to face Tarleton at a &#8220;cowpens,&#8221; where locals grazed cattle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On January 17, 1781, Morgan thoroughly defeated Tarleton. It was the only successful double envelopment of the Revolutionary War \u2013 a technique that relied on militias feigning retreat, drawing in the British, only to surround them with a deadly barrage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nps.gov\/cowp\/index.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cowpens National Battlefield<\/a> preserves the small battlefield and allows visitors to walk on history. Begin at the visitor center with the 18-minute introductory film Cowpens: A Battle Remembered. Then, walk the 1.3-mile partially paved Battlefield Trail and read about key moments of the battle at several interpretive sites. Alternatively, you can also drive the 3.8-mile Auto Loop Road, a one-way route around the battlefield with places to park and see the sites with less walking.<\/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<p class=\"preheader\">Point of Interest<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"biggerstaff-hanging-tree\">Biggerstaff Hanging Tree<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re up for a detour, the Biggerstaff Hanging Tree is a remote stop on the Overmountain Victory National Historic Trail worth a visit. The site is a 40-minute drive from Chesnee along U.S. Highway 221 through Rutherfordton, North Carolina. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After the Battle of Kings Mountain, the Overmountain Men had over a hundred captive Loyalists. On October 13, less than a week after the battle, they settled for the night at the homestead of Aaron Biggerstaff, a Loyalist killed at the battle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Eager to make an example, an impromptu trial began that night. 30 men were convicted and sentenced to death. The men were hung from a live oak tree in groups of three. But after just 9 were executed, the militia commanders ended the hangings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The interpretive site features a kiosk with a history of the area. A trail leads to the supposed tree where the men were hung. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group did-you-know\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Did You Know?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Captain James Chitwood was a Virginia native who served in the Loyalist militia during the Revolutionary War. On October 13, 1780, he was convicted of treason and was in the last group of three hung from the Biggerstaff Hanging Tree. James Chitwood was my 7th great-granduncle. But don&#8217;t worry \u2013 I also had relatives who fought for our independence, and one has a monument at his gravesite in Kentucky.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\t\t<div

A few months later, you can buy a bucket of freshly picked strawberries for a road trip snack.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"preheader\">Point of Interest<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"strawberry-hill-usa\">Strawberry Hill U.S.A.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In the early 1900s, Perry Cooley started a cotton farm in South Carolina&#8217;s Upcountry. In 1947, he transferred a small portion of the farm to his son and WWII veteran Gene, who transitioned from cotton to peaches. It was the beginning of one of the largest family-owned farms in the state. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 1995, Gene&#8217;s son, James, planted six acres of strawberries on the family farm. That initial investment grew to become South Carolina&#8217;s largest strawberry farm. And that&#8217;s how <a href=\"https:\/\/strawberryhillusa.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Strawberry Hill U.S.A.<\/a> became what you&#8217;ll find today. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The family farm surrounds SC Highway 11 as far as you can. 115 acres of strawberries and 1,000 acres of peaches, blackberries, squash, cucumbers, and beans. Giant peach tree orchards beside the road turn brilliant shades of pink in the spring, a frequent backdrop to portraits and selfies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A large, covered produce stand is open seven days a week. Tables are covered with fresh fruits and vegetables, and shelves are stocked with preserves and butters. Across the street, the restaurant serves breakfast and lunch with savory items like pancakes topped with fresh strawberries and thick burgers cooked to order. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group highlight\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pro Packing Tip<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The produce stand could have freshly picked strawberries, peaches, or many other fruits and vegetables, depending on the time of year. But taking them on a road trip is problematic \u2013 you must keep them chilled to last longer.

The militia was named after the famous Spartans because of their toughness at the Battle of Cowpens. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You might be famished after the one-hour-ish drive on SC Highway 9 from Strawberry Hill U.S.A.. Fortunately, Spartanburg is a foodie town. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Park anywhere along Main Street in this walkable small city and explore the shops and restaurants. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.delaneyspubsc.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Delaney\u2019s Irish Pub<\/a> is a delightfully authentic experience with Irish-style beers on tap and a menu replete with Irish foods.

With a large family of eight children \u2013 and two more in the following years \u2013 the Moores built the one-story Manor House that tour guide John described as &#8220;the backcountry&#8217;s version of a Charleston mansion.&#8221; <\/p>\n\n\n\t\t<div data-elementor-type=\"section\" data-elementor-id=\"59872\" class=\"elementor elementor-59872\" data-elementor-post-type=\"elementor_library\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6a93b79 elementor-hidden-desktop elementor-hidden-tablet e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"6a93b79\" data-element_type=\"container\" id=\"mediavine-advertisement-mobile\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f47d793 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"f47d793\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b537ca5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"b537ca5\" 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-9cd65f6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"9cd65f6\" 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\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\n\n\n<p>During the Revolutionary War, their son-in-law Andrew Barry and son Thomas Moore served in the local Spartan Regiment militia. Charles and Mary supported the Patriot effort by offering supplies and hospice for injured soldiers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Local stories, though, are focused on the exploits of Margaret Catherine Moore Barry. The legend of &#8220;Kate&#8221; Moore Barry includes a heroic midnight ride to warn her husband about an impending British attack. But Lauren Friedrich, Director of Education and Outreach at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.spartanburghistory.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Spartanburg County Historical Association<\/a>, points out that although no evidence exists of the infamous ride, &#8220;We know that women&#8217;s stories were more often than not left out of the narrative, plus, what woman wouldn&#8217;t warn her husband that the enemy was on its way?&#8221; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Walnut Grove Plantation is one of the must-see Revolutionary War historic sites in South Carolina. Take a guided tour of the Manor House and listen to the docents&#8217; stories about the Moore family. Then, go for a short walk to the family cemetery to see where Charles and Marry Moore are buried alongside their daughter, Margaret Moore Barry, and Patriot hero Andrew Barry. <\/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<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-dominant-color=\"707964\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #707964;\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1200\" data-pin-url=\"https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/road-trip-revolutionary-war-upcountry\/?tp_image_id=70113\" src=\"https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/road-trip-revolutionary-war-upcountry-jb019-1800x1200.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-70113 not-transparent\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/road-trip-revolutionary-war-upcountry-jb019-1800x1200.webp 1800w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/road-trip-revolutionary-war-upcountry-jb019-1200x800.webp 1200w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/road-trip-revolutionary-war-upcountry-jb019-390x260.webp 390w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/road-trip-revolutionary-war-upcountry-jb019-768x511.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/road-trip-revolutionary-war-upcountry-jb019-1536x1023.webp 1536w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/road-trip-revolutionary-war-upcountry-jb019-150x100.webp 150w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/road-trip-revolutionary-war-upcountry-jb019-jpg.webp 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-dominant-color=\"78634e\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #78634e;\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1200\" data-pin-url=\"https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/road-trip-revolutionary-war-upcountry\/?tp_image_id=70114\" src=\"https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/road-trip-revolutionary-war-upcountry-jb020-1800x1200.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-70114 not-transparent\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/road-trip-revolutionary-war-upcountry-jb020-1800x1200.webp 1800w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/road-trip-revolutionary-war-upcountry-jb020-1200x800.webp 1200w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/road-trip-revolutionary-war-upcountry-jb020-390x260.webp 390w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/road-trip-revolutionary-war-upcountry-jb020-768x511.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/road-trip-revolutionary-war-upcountry-jb020-1536x1023.webp 1536w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/road-trip-revolutionary-war-upcountry-jb020-150x100.webp 150w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/road-trip-revolutionary-war-upcountry-jb020-jpg.webp 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Greenville features one of the most gorgeous downtowns in South Carolina shaded by enormous trees lining the streets.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"preheader\">Destination<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"greenville-sc\">Greenville, SC<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the unexpected outcomes of the Cherokee War of 1776 was the Treaty of Dewitt&#8217;s Corner. After rowdy bands of Cherokee, armed with British guns and black powder, failed to retake the frontier settlements, they were beaten back by a combined expeditionary force led by Andrew Williamson. In 1777, the Cherokees were forced to cede all their remaining land in South Carolina, including present-day Greenville County. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 1797, Lemuel Alston purchased 400 acres and established Pleasantburg. The town was renamed Greenville in 1821. Today, Greenville is one of the largest cities in South Carolina and the perfect base for exploring the upcountry and Appalachian Mountain foothills. <\/p>\n\n\n\t\t<div data-elementor-type=\"section\" data-elementor-id=\"59872\" class=\"elementor elementor-59872\" data-elementor-post-type=\"elementor_library\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6a93b79 elementor-hidden-desktop elementor-hidden-tablet e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"6a93b79\" data-element_type=\"container\" id=\"mediavine-advertisement-mobile\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f47d793 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"f47d793\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b537ca5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"b537ca5\" 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-9cd65f6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"9cd65f6\" 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\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\n\n\n<p>Downtown Greenville is enormous, spread across dozens of city blocks.

establish roots in this area of South Carolina&#8217;s backcountry. He built a grist mill powered by a waterfall on the Reedy River and a trading post on his 50,000-acre tract. Pearis operated as an Indian trader and built a strong relationship with the natives. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But during the Revolutionary War, he was accused of helping Loyalist Patrick Cunningham steal a shipment of gunpowder near Ninety Six. The incident led to the Battle of Ninety Six, South Carolina&#8217;s first battle of the American Revolution. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pearis was later arrested and sent to Charleston for trial. While languishing in jail, rumors circulated that he was harboring violent Cherokees and Loyalists on his plantation on the Reedy River. Colonel Thomas Neel took a regiment of 300 men to the plantation but found only his wife and children. Still, Neel burned the plantation, seized his property, and Pearis was banished from South Carolina. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the early 2000s, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenvillesc.gov\/167\/Falls-Park\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Falls Park on the Reedy<\/a> opened to the public. The park is built around the waterfall on the Reedy River in the middle of downtown Greenville. But the main attraction is the 355-foot long, curved Liberty Bridge \u2013 a concrete and steel suspension bridge only open to pedestrian traffic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s a great place to enjoy a stroll where history happened, though you wouldn&#8217;t know it by the looks of the urban park today. <\/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<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;
