We loved the movie about Kings Mountain. It was very informative and refreshed our memory of the battle.
We then strolled through the museum and listened to the recordings as we looked at the displays. The museum is nicely and done and very informative. If you missed any information during the video, you can find it in the displays.
Next, we hit the battlefield trail. It was a mile and half trail that I would rate at mostly moderate. There are a few steep inclines, but they have placed park benches to be able to sit and rest when needed. Thank goodness it was a fairly cool day today for the walk! Along the paved trail, there are displays telling about the battle and several monuments that have been erected.
At the top of Kings Mountain, was the monument to the American Patriots. This battle was considered the turning point of the Revolutionary War. Without the Overmountain Men and their rifles, the outcome of the war may have been quite different.
If you are ever in the area, stop by and see this historic site. It will be well worth a few hours of your time.
