Summary

Description
English: Monument, erected by Chester Rotary Club in 1928, marks the Fish Dam Battle Ground (along the Broad River); where on November 9th, 1780 (yes, the date on the stone is wrong), Gen. Sumter (American) and Maj. Wemyss (British) fought. Hidden deep underneath both names says "Won by Americans." The Col. William Farr Memorial Bridge was built in 2007 (replacing an older, narrow bridge), so it's a safe bet this marker was moved from its original location to this more obvious and safe location along the highway; nearby the historic marker. What's really interesting is that this monument is marked on the USGS Topographic Map for this area.
