White's Fort, Colonial house in Knoxville, United States.
The original fort complex includes a two-story log cabin surrounded by a stockade fence with additional log structures at each corner of the quadrangle.
James White established this settlement in 1786, which later transformed into Knoxville after William Blount renamed it in honor of Henry Knox in 1791.
The fort features traditional pioneer crafts demonstrations, including open-hearth cooking methods and blacksmithing techniques that reflect early American settler life.
The reconstructed fort contains seven log cabins connected by an eight-foot wooden palisade, displaying period furniture and tools from the 18th century.
The original cabin served as a kitchen for the Kennedy house in the 1830s before Isaiah Ford relocated and preserved it on Woodlawn Pike in 1906.
