At Musgrove Mill State Historic Site, students learn about the Battle of Musgrove’s Mill and the American Revolution in the South Carolina Backcountry. They go beyond just learning about the battle, they learn about the people that fought in it, where they came from, and why they came together at Musgrove’s Mill in the summer of 1780. In addition, students learn about the brutal civil war that raged in South Carolina during the American Revolution, as well as the frontier area known as the Backcountry and the role it played in winning America’s Independence.

We encourage you to experience the park by participating in one of the following Discover Carolina programs. Pre-site, on-site and post-site lesson plans have been developed to ensure a quality educational experience for you and your students.
