Park Happenings

Event Details

We are looking for people to assist us with our living history school day event. The park needs people to walk school groups around to different historical stations on Friday, May 5th.

The day will start at 9:00 a.m. and end at 11:00 a.m. and the second tour will start at 12:00 p.m. and end at 2:00 p.m. Visitors will be able to interact with our living historians and interpreters to learn what it was like for families, like the Hulls, who lived in Tennessee during the 1870s.
Activities that will take place on this day include blacksmithing, fiber spinning, planting crops for the summer, woodworking. and much more. As you make your way around the park and speak with our resident farmers, you will learn that nothing came easy and everything had to be earned. We hope that by attending this event and immersing yourself in the early life of Cordell Hull and his family, you will learn how the small farm he grew up on in rural Pickett County, Tennessee came to shape his character later in life.
