Why Families Followed the Militia | Kings Mountain Historical Museum | NC Weekend

In 1780, the Battle of Kings Mountain delivered a decisive blow to British forces in the South, but the women and children who are part of this story are often overlooked. Today, the town that bears the battle’s name hosts the Kings Mountain Historical Museum, where immersive exhibits and artifacts offer a deeper, more human perspective on the fight for independence.
