Eutaw Springs is the site of the last Revolutionary War battle in South Carolina. It took place Sept. 8, 1781 when Gen. Nathanael Greene's 2,000 troops attacked a British camp on Eutaw Creek under the command of British Col. Alexander Stewart. The Americans drove out the British, but then stopped to loot the tents, and the British counterattack drove off Greene's men. Still, Greene's goal of preventing troops in South Carolina from joining up with Cornwallis in Virginia was accomplished. The battleground park on the banks of Lake Marion includes a historic marker telling the story of the battle. Also on the grounds is the tomb of British Major John Majoribanks, an accomplished commander.

This is a quiet unassuming memorial to a revolutionary war battle that ultimately discouraged British forces to abandon a presence in South Carolina. No fees, also no guides. Well cared for nonetheless. Over the years the D.A.R., South Carolina legislation, and USGS have contributed monuments and historical markers with information and accounts of the battle. We spent almost an hour strolling about and appreciating the memorial.
