The Captain Charles, Jr. McDowell House at Quaker Meadows, located at 119 St Marys Church Rd, Morganton, NC 28655, United States, is a captivating museum that offers a unique glimpse into American history. The name "Quaker Meadows" was bestowed upon the area by Joseph McDowell (1715-1771), who received two Crown Patents in 1749 and 1780. The earlier grant included a large meadow, which Joseph named after his home in Frederick County, Virginia. This historic site holds significant Revolutionary War heritage as it was here, under a giant oak tree known as the Council Oak, that Joseph’s sons, Charles and Joseph McDowell, gathered the Overmountain Men on September 30, 1780. These patriot soldiers from Virginia, current-day Tennessee, and Wilkes and Surry Counties in North Carolina laid plans that led to the pivotal defeat of British Major Patrick Ferguson at the Battle of Kings Mountain.
