Kings Mountain National Military Park
Battlefield
3,945-acre national military park preserving the October 7, 1780 battle ridgeline. Includes a 1.5-mile loop trail, monuments to commanders on both sides, and a museum. The summit ridge — as narrow as 60 feet in places — made the Loyalist position indefensible against encirclement.
