Cowpens National Battlefield is the site of an important battle that took place between the British and the Americans during the Revolutionary War in 1781; although the British Army was better trained, the Americans defeated them in under an hour, giving their side the momentum and morale they needed to eventually win the Revolution. The Visitor Center offers a large number of informative exhibits about the war and about the Revolution in general, and visitors are also welcome to take self-guided audio tours of the battlefield. Other park amenities include picnic tables with barbecue grills, a gift shop, and public restrooms.
