Fort Loudoun, British colonial fort in Monroe County, Tennessee, United States.

The British fort features diamond-shaped walls with bastions at each corner, three cannons per bastion, and reconstructed wooden structures within the compound.

Constructed between 1756 and 1757 under architect John William Gerard de Brahm, Fort Loudoun served as a strategic outpost during the French and Indian War.

The fort complex includes exhibits displaying artifacts from both British soldiers and Cherokee people, representing the complex relations between these two groups.

Visitors can access the reconstructed fort, museum, and 1,200-acre grounds daily from sunrise to sunset through the main entrance on Highway 360.

The entire fort structure was relocated and reconstructed above Tellico Lake's water level in 1979, preserving it from submersion.
