From the American Battlefield Trust August 2021 calendar.
A picture by Brian Keeley accompanies the calendar page.
HANGING ROCK, S.C.
172 acres saved.
The site of a surprise attack on a British outpost by Patriot militia on August 6, 1780, Hanging Rock will be a new battlefield park along the Liberty Trail.
This innovative driving route -- planned in cooperation with the South Carolina Battlefield Trust -- will more fully tell the story of America's fight for independence in the Southern Theater.
With the support of the American Battlefield Protection Program, the South Carolina Conservation Bank and Lancaster County, 172 acres have been preserved here.
I am so happy that the Civil War Battlefield trust has expanded its aims to protect the battlefields from the other two wars fought on American soil, The American Revolution and the War of 1812.
