Due to health concerns associated with the COVID-19 virus, the Siege at Fort Watauga has been postponed until November 2020.

It is the summer of 1776 and the Watauga settlement is at war.  Join us as 200 colonial and Native reenactors present this dramatic retelling of the Cherokee attack brought on the settlers of the Watauga valley.  Visit the living history camps, shop with period vendors, and witness battle re-enactments both days.  Hear the rattle of muskets, smell the campfire smoke, and see history come to life at the Siege of Fort Watauga.  Contact the park at (423) 543-5808 for a detailed schedule.
