11/20/2026 10:00 AMAmerica/New_YorkBlackstock Battlefield TourJoin us for an educational hike along the Blackstock Battlefield Passage. This passage offers 1.3 miles of nature trails along a remote section of the Tyger River where Revolutionary War patriots defeated the British.
Let's go back in time, on November 20, 1780, when patriot militia fighting under Gen. Thomas Sumter (aka, “The Carolina Gamecock”) prevailed over British regulars under Lt. Col. Banastre Tarleton. Two months later Tarleton lost the Battle of Cowpens and fled north with his remaining troops.
Preservation of the 54-acre Blackstock battlefield and construction of the Palmetto Trail are a combined effort of the Palmetto Trail organization, the Spartanburg Greenway Alliance, and the Mary Black Foundation. International Paper Company donated the site.
