A ranger from kings mountain was helping out at cowpens on the day of our visit. This young man, Rob, was so impressive. Honestly, he made such an impression on me, my husband and all who gathered to watch the musket shooting demonstration. He was knowledgeable and was eager to share his knowledge with professionalism, passion and even with a touch of humor. He kept us all engaged. You are quite fortunate to have this young man on your team.
Sincerely,
Cowpens National Battlefield
The 1781 Battle of Cowpens was a pivotal victory for the Patriots and a turning point in the Revolutionary War. Today, the soldiers’ stories, the history of the battle and a glimpse into 18th century backcountry life are preserved and interpreted at Cowpens National Battlefield. Visitors can explore the battlefield, hike a portion of the Overmountain Victory Trail and enjoy the park’s natural setting.
