Battle of Musgrove's Mill Anniversary Celebration

On Saturday, August 16, 2008, Musgrove Mill State Historic Site will be presenting the Battle of Musgrove's Mill Anniversary Celebration. The battle, which took place on August 19, 1780, was one of the early turning points in the Southern Campaign of the American Revolution, and stands as an excellent example of the guerilla conflict and civil war that raged in the Carolina Backcountry during America's War for independence. The event will feature an interpretive talk on the Battle of Musgrove's Mill and its significance, a period firing salute, well as commemorations by the Sons of the American Revolution and the Daughters of the American Revolution. The program will begin at 1:00 pm at the park's Visitors Center.
