The Overmountain Victory National Historic Trail is 330 miles in
length and includes portions of Virginia, Tennessee, North Carolina,
and South Carolina. The Trail commemorates the significance of the
patriot militia that marched from the Appalachian Mountains and
their foothills to defeat the British-led loyalist army at the Battle
of Kings Mountain on October 8, 1780.
This Trail Master Plan serves as a road map for establishing
a section of the Overmountain Victory National Historic
Trail (OVNHT) in North Carolina from the Town of Elkin,
which serves as the easternmost terminus of the OVNHT, to
the W. Kerr Scott Reservoir in Wilkes County.
