Path to Liberty: The Overmountain Victory Trail

Presented by Park Guide, William Caldwell, this lecture is about the American Revolution in the south and how the Overmountain Victory Trail that cuts through northeastern Spartanburg County was a crucial turning point towards American independence. It covers some background information about the war, how the various pieces moved along the trail leading to the Battle of Kings Mountain, and how people today can make a difference in their communities and explore the protected trail to not only learn more about this history, but see some beautiful nature in the backyard of Spartanburg County.
