The Siege of Fort Watauga, a popular living history event held annually at Sycamore Shoals State Historic Park, which was originally scheduled for Saturday, May 20th and Sunday, May 21st, has been cancelled. The reconstructed Fort Watauga, built in 1976 and based upon the archaeological findings of State Archaeologist Carl Kuttruff, is currently undergoing a project to rebuild the fort walls. Due to the ongoing reconstruction efforts, the park will be unable to host the event this year. The park staff apologizes for any inconvenience this may cause.
