exists to show colonial life
and the life of the militia-
man in the Carolina back
country during the Ameri-
can Revolution.
This group is open to

all ages who enjoy history,
interacting and sharing
knowledge with other peo-
ple, learning about the past
and trying new things.

Membership in the
Backcountry Militia is free
and all necessary training
and equipment, including
clothes, is provided at no
cost. The only requirement
is that participants commit
to attending four encamp-
ments.
High school students in-
terested in earning volunteer
or community service hours
may have the opportunity to
do so through participation
in the Backcountry Militia
but they must participate in
at least three encampments.
Members participate
in monthly weekend en-
campments from April to
November, where they
wear colonial clothes and
share their knowledge and
passion about our region's
Revolutionary history with
curious and eager Park vis-
itors. During the weekend
encampments they have
the option of camping over-
night in period canvas tents.
To better show colonial
life in the Carolina back-
crountry, members of the
group learn and demon-
strate colonial trades and
crafts, like spinning wool
into thread; cooking over
an open fire; weaving; med-
icine and more. They learn
what equipment and accou-
trements militiamen and
soldiers would have carried,
and they drill with the mi-
litia, learning how to load
and fire muskets ( 16years
old and up)
