Walnut Grove Plantation, the home of Charles and Mary Moore, was built in 1765 on a land grant given by King George III.

The eldest daughter, Margaret Catharine Moore (best known as Kate Barry), served as a scout for General Daniel Morgan during the Battle of Cowpens.

Kate Moore Barry is credited with planting the grove of black walnut trees.

A stain on the floor of the upstairs bedroom in the manor was for a long time believed to be the blood of a patriot named John Steadman, who was killed by Tory forces led by "Bloody" Bill Cunningham.

As 21st-century research determined the stain was not from human blood, tour guides have been prohibited from attributing it to the Steadman murder.
