Walnut Grove Plantation
This home of Charles & Mary Moore was built in 1765 on a land grant from King George III. Their eldest daughter, Kate Moore Barry, served as a scout for Gen. Daniel Morgan at the Battle of Cowpens during the Revolutionary War. The documented collection of antique furnishings and accessories vividly portrays living conditions in Spartanburg County prior to 1805. Guided tours are given of the manor house, kitchen and academy, one of the first schools in the area. Other buildings on the site include a blacksmith's forge, a wheat house, a smoke house, a barn sheltering a Conestoga wagon, and a well house.
