Davy Crockett Born on This Spot
Frontiersman Davy Crockett was not born on a mountaintop, but instead on flat farmland in Tennessee. The state park is the site of a replica cabin, buildings and fencing to set the stage for Crockett's childhood home. Dedicated re-enactors and staff bring the story to life.
