Blackstock Plantation

Today, the site of the November 20,1780 Battle of Blackstocks is under the care and protection of the Battle of Musgrove Mill State Historic Site. While currently undeveloped, plans are being made with several organizations for the development of the site to better protect and tell the history of the battlefield. At present, a moderately difficult 1.5-mile loop passage of the Palmetto Trail goes through the site for those looking for a hike. For anyone interested in just viewing the battlefield and monument, access is available for foot traffic only along the half-mile gravel roadway around Monument Hill. 

Please be aware of the dynamic characteristics of the natural environment.  There are some areas that may be potentially hazardous.  All visitors should exercise caution when visiting any state park. Visitors to the Blackstocks Battlefield are required to stay either on the Palmetto Trail or the gravel roadway while visiting the battlefield to help protect the battlefield and prevent injuries. This also helps preserve and protect the battlefield area from the damage and erosion of unrestricted foot traffic.
