History

Few remnants remain of these early pioneering days, but traces can be found, particularly in the more rural areas of the county. Although neglected for many years, this neighborhood is undergoing a renaissance thanks to active residents and the [http://www.preservespartanburg.org/ Preservation Trust of Spartanburg], a non-profit organization that is slowly restoring the neighborhood. A statue of Morgan (visible atop the pillar at right in the photo) was placed in the square in 1881. The plantation lies south of Spartanburg near the town of Roebuck and is open to the public for tours as well as during annual festivals. One of the Moore daughters, Kate Barry, famously warned American troops of the British advance immediately before the Battle of Cowpens, contributing greatly to the American victory.
