The Martintown Rd

SC Hwy Historical Marker. In the 1730s, an Indigenous American path from Fort Moore to the Saluda ridge was used by traders going to the Cherokee Nation. Later, a wagon road from Ninety Six to Augusta followed the same route. Named for the Martin family who lived beside it and served well the cause of the Revolution, it was widely used during that conflict by Patriots, Tories and British. Marker is by the road in front of the Hammond Cemetery. Must park at the cemetery and walk to the marker.
