clouds over the 1932 US Monument outside the Visitor Center
In 1932, the Daniel Morgan chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution and Cherokee County, South Carolina raised money to buy an acre of land. They deeded it to the federal government, and work began on the monument. The US Monument was unveiled in April and dedicated on June 14, 1932, and was placed under the management of the War Department.
