Long Cane Massacre Site
Long Cane Massacre Site, Historic site near Troy, South Carolina.
The site contains a gravestone marking the location where 23 Long Cane settlers met their end during a conflict with Cherokee warriors.
In February 1760, during territorial disputes between settlers and Native Americans, Cherokee forces attacked a group of Scots-Irish settlers moving toward Fort Moore.
The memorial includes the burial place of Catherine Calhoun, grandmother of future United States Vice President John C. Calhoun, along with other settlement members.
Visitors can access the one-acre site via a dirt road off South Carolina Highway 10, where a metal footbridge from 1945 crosses a nearby stream.
The location represents a turning point in colonial relations, leading to the 1761 peace treaty that established a 40-mile boundary line between Cherokee and settler territories.
