Davy Crockett Birthplace State Park

This 105-acre park sits along the Nolichucky River and includes a reconstructed log cabin, museum displays, and areas showing what frontier life looked like. Visitors can find camping spots, picnic grounds, a swimming pool, trails along the riverbank, and a boat launch for river access.

This was the birthplace of David Crockett in 1786, who later served in the Tennessee state legislature and the United States Congress. His life ended during the Battle of the Alamo in Texas.

The museum displays artifacts that tell the story of David Crockett's life, from his early years as a frontiersman to his later roles in government and the military.

The park offers river access for boating, swimming, and fishing throughout the year. Trails and facilities are clearly marked and easy to navigate for most visitors.

The park sits where the Nolichucky River and Big Limestone Creek meet, a location where American Indian communities once lived long before European settlement. This spot connects visitors to the deep roots of the region.
