Living History Farm Trail

This easy, 1.5-mile out and back trail is a unique feature in Kings Mountain State Park. In an area that is surrounded with historical relevance this trail provides an insight to what everyday life was like on a Carolina upstate farmstead during the revolutionary era. Highlights are a two-story farmhouse, barn, smokehouse, carpenter/blacksmith shop, sorghum mill and cooker, corncrib, cotton gin and several other small dwellings. The best time to hike the trail is in the spring, which is when all the lush vegetation is in full bloom.
