This large hilly park includes the Living History Farm, which is representative of a typical early 19th-century Piedmont farm. It includes a barn, cotton gin, blacksmith, and carpenter shop.
The park also surrounds 65-acre (26 ha) Lake York as well as the smaller Lake Crawford.[2][3]
6,141 acres (2,485 ha) of this park were donated in 1934 by the U.S. Government. An additional 744 acres (301 ha) were donated and purchased in 1995. The park was largely developed by the Civilian Conservation Corps.[2][4][5] The Kings Mountain State Park Historic District was named to the National Register of Historic Places in 2008.[1]
