We will work on pulling invasive species and trash/debris pick up.

Spanning 347 acres, the park offers a glimpse into York's life and the part of rural Tennessee that he called home. Visitors can explore the York Farm, York Gristmill, and a World War I trench re-creation, immersing themselves in history and the natural beauty of the Wolf River Valley.
