The Newberry Museum

Lt. Col. Banastre Tarleton, who was known as a bloody fighter who often would not give quarter to those who surrendered. The story goes that the ladies of Newberry were able to get his dastardly Brit to act like a gentleman by offering him an outdoor tea. This civilized outing, of course, delayed British troop movements. Locals now call the rock formation where the event is presumed to have taken place as Tarleton’s Tea Tables. Learn about these American Revolution legends and more when you stop in at The Newberry Museum. Look for a tour of Tarleton’s adventures in Newberry coming soon.
