Women at the Edge of War
Carolina Piedmont's Heroines of the American Revolution
In the late 1770s, the mountainous and Piedmont frontier of western North Carolina became a contested landscape of militia musters, refugee movements, and partisan warfare. This volatile region extended into the adjacent backcountry of South Carolina, where similar struggles unfolded. While men fought with regiments and partisan bands, women across the Piedmont frontier of both North and South Carolina played vital roles in sustaining their communities. They kept farms and families running as well as preserved food and goods during boycotts. Others followed armies, caring for the wounded and providing supplies. In some cases, they even gathered and passed intelligence.
This exhibit highlights the daily courage and civic work of women in the Carolinas, whose efforts were essential to Revolutionary resistance and survival on the southern frontier.

Choosing Sides
The Catawba Nation and the Fight for Independence
This exhibit explores the critical role of the Catawba Nation, also known as Yį Iswąre or “People of the River,” in the American Revolutionary War, particularly in the backcountry regions of Tryon and Lincoln Counties. As skilled warriors, guides, and allies of the Patriot cause, the Catawba people defended their homeland, protected settler communities, and contributed to pivotal battles. Despite the hardships of disease, displacement, and warfare, the Catawba demonstrated extraordinary resilience. Their story is one of courage, alliance, and survival, woven into the struggle for independence in the Southern Campaign of the Revolution.
