The Pemberton Oak was the landmark that was used by the Militia under Capt. John Pemberton's command as a muster site.

His men mustered here in 1780 on their way to the grand muster at Sycamore Shoals and on to the Battle of Kings Mountain.

Very good History, it's sad the 'old oak tree' had to fall, we just lost one on my Aunt's place that was 27 feet around. :'(
