Overmountain Victory National Historic Trail, National Historic Trail across Virginia, Tennessee, North Carolina, and South Carolina, United States.
The Overmountain Victory National Historic Trail extends 330 miles through four states, following the route of the 1780 Kings Mountain military campaign.
Revolutionary War militia troops traversed this mountainous path to engage British forces at the Battle of Kings Mountain, securing a decisive victory on October 7, 1780.
The trail connects multiple colonial settlements, military grounds, and frontier communities that shaped the development of the southeastern United States during the 18th century.
Visitors can explore 87 miles of walking paths or follow the marked Commemorative Motor Route along state highways that parallel the original trail.
Each September and October, participants conduct a Commemorative March along the exact dates and routes of the original military campaign.
