The Overmountain Victory National Historic Trail preserves the route of Patriot militia during the seventeen eighty Kings Mountain campaign. On October 6, 1780, American forces stopped at the Cow Pens to rest and eat before continuing that night in pursuit of the British force. Part of the larger National Trails System, the trail stretches approximately 330 miles from Abingdon, Virginia, through East Tennessee, over the high mountains of North Carolina, across the piedmont of North and South Carolina, to Kings Mountain National Military Park administered by the National Park Service.
