Barnet's Tavern

Near this spot stood Barnet's Tavern, called the Forty Five Mile House, indicating its distance from Charleston. Here was the muster ground of the Eutaw State Volunteers, a company raised in 1833, to support the Ordinance of Nullification. From this tavern, on Sept. 11, 1781, Gen. Green sent to the president of Congress, dispatches announcing the Battle of Eutaw Springs.

Marker is at the intersection of Ranger Road (State Road 132) and Old Highway 6, on the right when traveling north on Ranger Road.
