Overview

Eutaw Springs Battlefield preserves the site of one of the last major Revolutionary War engagements in the South, fought on September 8, 1781, when General Nathanael Greene's Patriots clashed with British forces under Lieutenant Colonel Alexander Stewart. There was no clear winner, but heavy British losses forced a retreat toward Charleston and helped erode British control of the South. Monuments and interpretive displays mark the quiet, uncrowded site near Lake Marion.
