When Raleigh was still in its infancy, Haywood Hall was already making history. The stately home built in 1800 was home to four generations of its namesake family, which helped guide the state's capital through its first two centuries. Now, it is one of the most beloved Federalist homes in the state.

As part of our ongoing podcast series, "Burgwin-Wright Presents... North Carolina's Great American Treasures," we are opening the door on the history of Haywood Hall, with programming coordinator and historian Nicole Ackman.

North Carolina's Great American Treasures: Oval Ballroom

"This was a civil war as much as it was a revolution." That's how Kings Mountain National Military Park ranger Robert Holmes describes the battle fought on the ridge in October 1780. It was personal, and it was a pivotal moment for the American Revolution, one that will serve as the backdrop for the series finale of the "Outlander" TV series on Starz.

For this episode, we are talking with Robert about the lead up to the Battle of Kings Mountain, the major players including the Overmountain Men and the consequences of the bloody clash. Robert also talks about how "Outlander" fans can literally walk some of the places that Jamie Fraser would have seen during the book and TV series' events, and discusses why it would have been appropriate for the men of Fraser's Ridge to be present for this all-important battle.

For more information about Kings Mountain National Military Park, please visit www.nps.gov/kimo. And to learn more about the Burgwin-Wright House and how to support the house, visit BurgwinWrightHouse.com.
