1 Exploring Kings Mountain State Park An Example of an 1850s Yeoman Farm in UpCountry South Carolina Name
2 Pre-Visit Assignment (8 th grade) After reading Chapter 12 and pages in your book, think of at least 10 questions you could ask the staff at the park relating to life as recreated on the Living History Farm or the construction of the park by the CCC
3 Kings Mountain Living History Farm Background Information Kings Mountain Living History Farm is a reproduction of a yeoman farmer s farm from the 1850s. It is typical of the type of farm that would have been found in the Upcountry of South Carolina during this period. The house was originally located in the McConnells/Bullock Creek area. It was built about 1750 and is the only building from the period. It was moved to the Kings Mountain park in the early 1970s. The farm is made up of the house, outbuildings (privy, smokehouse, chicken coop, weave house, corn crib, carpenter s shop, gin house, and barn. The farm produces crops similar to those grown during the period-shortstaple cotton, vegetables, sorghum, herbs, and fruit. A yeoman farm would have produced crops for use by the farmer with a small amount to sell. They did not produce large amounts of cash crops like a plantation. Animals on the farm would have included chickens, sheep, cows, horses, donkeys, mules, goats, dogs, and cats. The farmer would have to have a working knowledge of many crafts including blacksmithing, weaving, carpentry, and would have to know how to make and repair farm tools. The farmer s family would likely have been large in order to have enough people to work on the farm. As they grew older, they would start farms of their own or would migrate farther west. Created for the TAH CAPSULE PROJECT by Cynthia A. Jonas York Junior High School October, 2008
4 Kings Mountain State Park and the CCC Kings Mountain State Park was developed during the 1930s as a project of the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC). The CCC was part of the New Deal Recovery program started by President Franklin D. Roosevelt to help provide jobs during the Great Depression. The CCC created many of the state parks in South Carolina. The men who worked in the CCC were mostly unemployed young men and veterans of World War I. The men were given housing, meals, and $30 a month. They also were offered classes in typing, agriculture, forestry, and other skills. The CCC was in operation until World War II. About 50,000 men worked in the South Carolina CCC camps. According to the state archives, the men built over 800 bridges, 129 lookout towers, and 16 state parks. They also planted over 56 million trees and did other conservation projects. Today, the rock walls, trading post, bath house, and other structures are visible at Kings Mountain.
