Right next to the border between North and South Carolina, Kings Mountain National Military Park was created to commemorate the famous Battle of Kings Mountain, which was the American's first major victory after the British Army invaded Charleston. The Visitor Center offers a small museum with informative audio exhibits, artifacts recovered from the battle, and a short live-action movie played in a theater. Visitors can also go for a stroll along the park's 1.5-mile trail, which passes several monuments of various sizes and leads from the Visitor Center to where the Loyalists were positioned during the battle.
