Many school children in the NC SC area are taken to Kings Mt, and it is well worth the trip, for them and for adults traveling in the area. Another good place to learn about the life and times of the Rev.war is in Hillsborough and Alamance county, where "the War of the Regulation and the Battle of Alamance" almost started the Rev.in May 1771, but Gov. Tryon brought his troops in to settle the Regulators.There is a visitors center, a cabin, a museum and lots of information in this area(all state maintained) SBarkley a descendant of the Messer who was hung in Hillsborough, along with 5 others. One Regulator was executed on the spot and others hung after the battle. The book THE WAR OF THE REGULATION AND THE BATTLE OF ALAMANCE, MAY 16, 1771 by William S. Powell published by the NC Div of Archives in Raleigh is a good source of the story. I never learned this history until I began my research into my family's genealogy. SBarkley Taylorsville, NC
