June 12, 2024 This past winter major improvements were made to the Battlefield with the addition of a brick paver walkway between the patio by the flag poles and the walkway in front of the memorials. The walkway crosses the gravel circle drive and does a great job of unifying the elements of the memorial. In addition, two brick paver walks radiate out from the main walkway and provide access to 4 new kiosks. The new kiosk subjects include:  Significant Events in the Life of the Battlefield Why we fly the Virginia Flag Commanders Combatants (We highlight 6 combatants, all Americans but two were Loyalists and 4 were Patriots) Please take the time to come to the Battlefield and enjoy these new additions.

Battlefield Timeline

The South Carolina Battleground Preservation Trust (SCBPT) is developing walking trails on the 51 acres of the battlefield they have preserved around the original 2 acre county park. These mowed grass trails can be easily followed as they wind through the fields and fence lines but caution is required as there are several rough and rutted areas. Tree lines have been followed, for shade, where possible. Please feel free to use these walking trails for your recreation, but be aware that there are no trail markings, they will be added in the future. But you may use the following map as your guide.
