Eutaw Springs Battle Monument

Monument

A state-erected monument near the battlefield site, commemorating the September 8, 1781 engagement and the American soldiers who died there. The monument is one of the few visible markers of the battle; the battlefield itself receives relatively few visitors despite its historical significance as the last major engagement of the Revolutionary War in South Carolina.
