Ninety Six National Historic Site

Travel | Ninety Six National Historic Site

Walking along the battlefield at Ninety Six National Historic Site was quiet and peaceful. Spring was beginning to arrive, the grass was turning green and there were flowers blooming in the trees. I was the only person on the battlefield during my visit.
