Description
Do you love hiking through nature and exploring the great outdoors? Did you know that hikers helped win our nation's independence?
Come out to The Local Hiker at 173 E. Main Street in Spartanburg, SC on Saturday, September 12th at 6:30pm to learn all about it!
Ranger William from the Overmountain Victory National Historic Trail will be talking all about how thousands of frontiersmen in the year 1780 made a 300-mile journey and fought one of our Revolution's most important battles. The route of this journey is protected today as the Overmountain Victory National Historic Trail, and passes through part of Spartanburg County!
Catch Ranger William as he tells about the story, examine the types of equipment these Patriots were using in the year 1780, and find out where you can experience the trail for yourself!
