Ninety Six - Ninety Six National Historic Park Attractions

Near the little town of Ninety Six on the Piedmont Plateau the first battle of the Revolutionary Wars in the southern United States was fought in 1775, and, six years later, a British fort was besieged for 28 days. A trail 1 mi. long through the forests takes visitors round the scene of the fighting.

In the far north-west of the state is a lovely stretch of country in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The beauty of this relatively unknown part of South Carolina can be enjoyed on a drive on the Cherokee Foothills Scenic Highway (SC 11).
