Port Royal State Park, encompassing 30 acres, invites visitors to step back in time and explore a significant piece of Tennessee history. This day-use park centers around the site of the former town of Port Royal, established in 1797. Visitors can explore the restored 1859 General Store, walk along a preserved section of the Trail of Tears, and immerse themselves in stories of the past.
