​NPS Stop 4-Ninety Six National Historic Site: https://www.nps.gov/nisi/index.htm

This site was the location for one battle during the American Revolution. The quiet little town of Ninety Six did not want to take sides during the battle and were living peacefully among the Cherokee’s but circumstances forced them to take a stand. A fort was constructed by the Loyalists who were faithful to Britain.  The fort was never taken in the battle with the Patriots, however the British retreated and burned down the town.  This site offers a nice one mile walking tour where you can see remnants and reconstructions of the area. The first southern patriot was killed at this site. Bailey hiked another mile with us today.
