- Yet again, we find places to explore fairly close to home! During our one-year-of-RV'ing anniversary trip back to Lake Greenwood State Park, we ventured over to Ninety-Six, SC to see the National Historic Site there. It's fascinating to walk the grounds and learn about the events that happened here, and how instrumental those events were in the creation of our nation. Situated amongst 1,000 acres of forest land, this site is another example of the fantastic job the National Park Service does at protecting significant places, keeping them beautiful and accessible to everyone. If you live nearby or are traveling through this portion of South Carolina, you definitely should devote a couple of hours to experiencing this great place!

Great video guys! It's always fun to find something special in our "back yard"....and you seem to find them all! Thanks for sharing.
Suite Travels Thanks for taking a look! We may not have the Grand Canyon, but we do have old earthen fortifications... 😜
Looks like a cool place to check out!
Definitely! Thanks for checking out the vid! 👍🏻
Yet again, you two have shown me something I didn't know was there! I'd like to see it for myself. Thank you!
You are most welcome! Thank YOU for taking a look! We're always glad to show new stuff to folks!
History is so important! Thanks for sharing. Kathie
Creating A Simpler Life Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching!
@@LiveNLearnRV Very welcome :-)
Another enjoyable video. This makes me want to go visit the site myself. Thank you for a mini lesson in our state's history.
Claudia Smoak It's relatively close, y'know... AND FREE! It sorta fits all of your important travel criteria! 😜
Looks like a great time. It's so easy to forget our history so thanks for showing us this.
Camp More Bark Less It’s a public service we’re happy to provide! 😁
Awesome video guys. Beautiful park. We will have to check it out when we get down that way. Keep up the good work.
Traveling Buckeyes Thanks for checking it out!
Good one, guys! I'll bet that local historian makes the place come alive - you probably listened to him for hours!
He was terrific! We didn't listed to him for HOURS, but I'd wager we could have if he'd offered... 😉
Cool spot. Might have to put it on my 2020 trip list.
Bikes Boats Bivouacs I’d say it’s definitely worth a couple hours... or more, if you took your fishing pole... 🎣
Great video! Thanks - we were camping at Kings Mountain S.C. and visited the Kings Mountain National Park - the wonderful ranger there told us all about Ninety-Six and it is on our list...now we are even more excited to go there. We will need a campground close by - too far for just a day trip for us and sounds like so much to see....thanks!
WE LIVE TO RV Thanks!! Glad you liked our clip! Lake Greenwood State Park is less than five miles from 96! We have a review video of the campground coming in a couple weeks, so stay tuned!!
We just stayed at lake greenwood state park! Very nice and going back!
An amazing tour! thanks for brining us along.
Glad to do it! We always love having after-the-fact/video-voyeur-type company on our travels! 😎
I love the attitude of making mistakes and having fun while doing it. First time watching and subbed! Keep the learning and loving it attitude.
Huzzah to public mistake-making!!! 🤣Thanks so much for taking a look! Glad you liked this one! More to come, we promise!
I would follow just because you said huzzah. Haha
Another awesome video guys. Thanks for sharing! :)
Thanks, Dean! Glad you liked it!
Very informative. Lots like a great place to spend the day!
Thank you for taking a look! Yes, a lovely place indeed, and more interesting than I would've guessed.
Very cool park. Thanks!
Thanks for taking a look! Yeah, it's a nice place to spend a couple or three hours. Definitely an enjoyable way to spend an afternoon in the sunshine!
My hometown Ninety Six, SC…
I’m a Goldman and my grandpa/uncles own the land across the road from Starfort National Historic Park
The entire area from the Historic Site all the way back into the town of Ninety-Six is some lovely country! Tell your kinfolk to hang onto that property! Thanks for watching our video, too!
Lovely!
Wasn't it!?!? We were surprised at how nice the Nat'l Park Svc. had this place looking and feeling. We highly recommend a visit there, for a lovely walk, if the learning-about-history thing doesn't appeal to you (although it should!).
Very informative. Enjoyed. Subscribed and pounded on that thumbs up. Thanks for sharing.
Awrighty!! Thank YOU for checking us out! Glad you liked the vid!
Actually, the mining attempt was halted when a group of loyalists found out and captured the men and their tools. Also, I’m from here so greetings from Ninety Six!
Well, well! Thanky for the correction, and for watching the vid! You have definitely contributed to the "Learn" part of Live 'n' Learn! 😉
My 5th great grandparents (Hamptons)were killed by Indians there in June 1776.
@@stokesmosquitoandoutdoorpe2240 Very interesting! I also just recently learned that I’m related to James Longstreet, Robert E Lee’s Second and arguably the best Corps Commander on either side in the Civil War, which is pretty interesting
@@projectarma Yes, Longstreet! He is from Edgefield SC. I live about 15 minutes from there. We do a lot of living history events there.
New subscriber! Lots of great info!
Tee-rific!! We aim to inform AND entertain... or at least be watchable! 🤪
Great video! New subscriber!
Thank you!! Glad you liked it, and glad to have you aboard!!
There is another fort about 30 miles from 96 called Musgrove mill National historic site near Clinton Sc.
Sure is! We've been there (but not on camera...)!
@@LiveNLearnRV we were there the day of the reactmemt of the battle & the musket show was was really something to watch I think it was toward the end of April
Very odd, a star fort built in the euro design.
Well, if you think about it, at the time it was built, the colonists were still TECHNICALLY Europeans... 🤔 Thanks for watching!
You should look into star forts. Any pics of fort Wood before lady liberty went up?
Any pics of lady liberty being put together?
Not the individual parts.
They were invented by da vinci (forts) always built with a relationship to nearby water. Sri lanka - the dutch built. India the Brits built . France - the french built . Portuguese same etc etc.
If every nation in europe used the design why can't they be explained?
In Ireland - spike island or kinsale have good examples.
Matara in Sri lanka has visible drainage in the center. tara is sanskrit for star. Like hill of Tara.
Green comes from Irish - greana ghrian. It means Sun or ⭐.

They make 0 sense as a fortification.
Handy in a flood though.
Peace
Hey, thanks for the info! It all sounds like some interesting Wikipedia reading, and history buff that I am, that'll be some good reading. Thanks for watching the video!
