Living History Farm at Kings Mountain State Park, South Carolina
Kings Mountain State Park is located near the town of Blacksburg, in York County in Upstate South Carolina. This state park is adjacent to the Kings Mountain Military Park, part of the National Park Service. Inside the state park you'll find the Living History Farm, a collection of original buildings along with historical and cultural information regarding 19th century life in South Carolina's Upstate region. You can drive right to the Living History Farm, but of course it is much better to park in the day use area and hike the 1.5 mile Farm Trail. Follow me on the hike to the farm. Thanks for watching!

The second stop on day 3 of the Southern Campaign tour was Kings Mountain National Battlefield. Kings Mountain is a rocky wooded hill on the border of North and South Carolina. On October 7, 1780, a thousand patriots surrounded and attacked the British troops and Loyalist soldiers. This battle would become a major victory and turn the tides for the patriots.
The entire trail around the battlefield is about one and a half miles, and features many historical markers and monuments. One monument the visitors and I were looking forward to seeing in particular was the site of British Colonel Patrick Ferguson, a notorious British officer. His grave marker has a large pile of rocks behind it, from years of visitors throwing rocks at it, which is a South Carolina tradition.

South Carolina
South Carolina /ˌsaʊθ kærəˈlaɪnə/ is a state in the Southeastern United States. It is bordered to the north by North Carolina; to the south and west by Georgia, located across the Savannah River; and to the east by the Atlantic Ocean. Originally part of the Province of Carolina, the Province of South Carolina became a slave society after rice and indigo became established as commodity crops, and from 1708, a majority of the population were slaves, many born in Africa. It was the first of the 13 colonies that declared independence from the British Crown during the American Revolution.
South Carolina was the first state to ratify the Articles of Confederation, and the 8th state to ratify the US Constitution on May 23, 1788. South Carolina later became the first state to vote to secede from the Union which it did on December 20, 1860. It was readmitted to the United States on June 25, 1868.
