It Took Us All is an engaging exhibit that brings to life the diverse roles played by women, children, enslaved and free Blacks, Loyalists, and Patriots during America’s War for Independence. Through personal accounts and narratives, visitors are immersed in the historical events that morphed present-day Cherokee County, South Carolina, into battlegrounds during the American Revolution.

The Ancestry Wall features an audio experience, allowing guests to hear stories shared by ancestors and local members of the Daniel Morgan Chapter, NSDAR, Daughters of the American Revolution. These individual accounts offer unique insights into the pivotal actions taken during the Revolution.

The exhibit also showcases near floor-to-ceiling panels with historical art interpretations by Fred Bowen, a local artist and descendant of Revolutionary War veterans. A virtual reality floor covering allows visitors to step back in time and experience the events that took place in the area during 1780 and 1781.
