Event Details

Please consider a donation to support the continued care of the park's beloved donkeys, Jack and Jenny, and the newest hooved member of the team - Rowdy!

Though Jack and Jenny are not visible to the public for now, park staff are still working hard to ensure the best possible care for these beloved donkeys! Any donations used for Jack and Jenny help offset costs of their care, including but not limited to: hay, farrier work, grooming supplies, fencing, supplements, and veterinarian visits.

Rowdy is a Mounted Patrol horse stationed at the park. He is utilized for patrol not only at this park, but also several surrounding State Parks in East Tennessee. Any donations used for Rowdy help offset costs of his care, including but not limited to: grain, farrier work, grooming supplies, fencing, veterinarian visits, and tack.

Donation amounts are set at $1, $5, $10, $25, and $50. If you would like to make a custom donation amount, upon check-out there is an option for a separate custom donation amount. Thank you for your contribution!

Nestled on 105 acres in Limestone, Tennessee, David Crockett Birthplace State Park marks the humble beginnings of the legendary frontiersman. While currently closed due to extensive flood damage, the park offers a glimpse into 18th-century frontier life. The park features a replica cabin, a visitor center with exhibits, and access to the Nolichucky River, promising a blend of history and natural beauty upon its reopening.
