The Dickey-Sherer log cabin was built ca. 1771 for John Dickey on his 170 acres. In 1844, Richard Sherer bought the house and 76 acres from the descendants of Martha McNeely Dickey. In 1988, the cabin was moved from its original location to the Kings Mountain State Park where you can step inside the building, which now serves as the park office.
Location: Kings Mountain State Park, Clover, South Carolina
Several years ago, a Country duo named "The Civil Wars" filmed a music video for their hit "Barton Hollow" at the place where many of my McMasters ancestors are buried. The Mt. Zion Church and Cemetery, on the banks of Sugar Creek, along with the old swinging bridge that is suspended over the creek appear prominently in the video. My fourth Great Grandfather William David McMasters dropped dead in that Church in 1894! Anyway, I'm posting a link to the video - enjoy!
