The Revolutionary War in the Carolina Backcountry was largely fought by loosley organized militias that used their experience in frontier fighting to slow the British advance. Join us at Musgrove Mill State Historic Site as we look more closely into the role of these militias during the conflict on the South Carolina frontier. This event will feature the South Carolina Rangers re-enactment unit portraying the lifestyle, arms, equipment and strategy used by the militia in battles like the Battle of Musgrove's Mill.
