Fort Adair, Military fort in Knoxville, Tennessee, United States
Fort Adair stands at the coordinates 36.026 latitude and -83.9271 longitude, featuring a stone marker installed by the Daughters of the American Revolution in 1924.
The fort, established in 1788 by Captain John Adair, operated as a supply depot and stockaded blockhouse fortification supporting early settlers during the Cherokee-American wars.
