The Howser House, ca 1803 Kings Mountain National Military Park will open the Howser House to visitors on Saturday, Nov. 28. The 1803 stone structure, located in a remote area of the park, is open to the public only once or twice a year.

The historic house was built by a Revolutionary War veteran and stonemason Henry Howser. Its thick sturdy stone walls conveyed prosperity and affluence at a time when most were living in log houses. The home remained in the family for several generations and was one of the more prosperous farms in the region.

The Brigade of Friends and other park volunteers will be stationed at the house and grounds. Visitors are welcome to explore and appreciate Howser’s architectural talents.

The Howser House is not handicap accessible and parking is limited. Visitors may reach the house from Rock House Road, off SC 216 (Battleground Road). Parking is located near the entrance to the house. A shuttle service from the parking area will be provided. Good walking shoes are recommended.

The house and grounds can be seen from 11 a.m. until 4 pm. and admission is free. In case of inclement weather the house will not be opened.
