Having survived over 200 years, Historic Rock Castle was home to General Daniel Smith, who is credited with the first official drawing of the state of Tennessee. Taking over a decade to construct, Historic Rock Castle survived wars, Native American attacks, and the earth’s natural elements to continue to stand in its almost original state today.

Bledsoe's Fort Historical Park​
Bledsoe Fort Historical Park is a physical imprint of the initial early settlers of Tennessee. Bledsoe Fort was constructed in 1780 and played a critical role in the development of the western expansion of the United States. Surviving wars, Native American attacks, and natural elements, the fort stood in its original location until it was removed in the early 1800s. Today, the historical park showcases the original buildings of famous Tennessee and Sumner County settlers, one of the earliest pioneer cemeteries in Tennessee, and artifacts that date back to the Archaic period (1000 BC – 5000 BC).
