Battle of Musgrove Mill

The Battle of Musgrove Mill, which took place on August 18, 1780, was one of the early turning points in the Southern Campaign of the American Revolution, and stands as an excellent example of the guerilla conflict and civil war that raged near the Musgrove Mill on the Enoree River at the present day Clinton, South Carolina.

The Musgrove's Mill Historic Battle Site is listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places.
