Kettle Creek Battlefield

The Kettle Creek Revolutionary War Battlefield, located between modern Tyrone and Washington, Georgia is one of the few remaining intact Revolutionary War battlefields in Georgia.

This was the location of the first major victory for the Patriot forces in the back country of Georgia. It ended with the defeat of a Loyalist militia force on their way to British-controlled Augusta. On February 14, 1779, a hastily-organized group of only 360 Patriots defeated more than 800 Loyalists at the Battle of Kettle Creek to forever break the stranglehold the British had on Georgia.
