Enoree River at Musgrove Mill State Historic Site

Musgrove Mill Battle Site

This pretty spot on the Enoree River in Clinton, SC, was the impetus of the August 19, 1780 Revolutionary War Battle of Musgrove’s Mill. Possession of this easy to ford section of the river in the rural, agricultural area was the impetus behind the skirmish.

A modern bridge less than 1000 feet (300 Meters) downstream made this site obsolete for river passage a long time ago.
