Hobkirk's Hill Battlefield Site

The wooded ridge north of Camden where Greene positioned his army in April 1781. The battlefield site is partially preserved and marked with historical interpretation. The ridge's relationship to the town of Camden and the approach routes used by Rawdon's force are interpretable from the terrain.
