Eutawville

The very quiet town of Eutawville and the community of Eutaw Springs are steeped in history. Eutaw, according to the town’s website, is the Native American word for pine.

Tall pines abound in the area amongst campsites, along trails and down to the water’s edge, where the cypress thrive.

The Revolutionary War’s Battle of Eutaw Springs in September of 1781, the last major engagement in the South, is considered a strategic American victory. In 1970, the site of the battle was added to the National Register of Historic Places.
