Stop in for an afternoon visit at Fort Watauga and join a member of our interpretive staff as they demonstrate a particular aspect of colonial frontier life. From 18th century woodworking and musket demonstrations, to open hearth cooking or quill pen writing. You never know what may be going on at the fort. Come by, check it out, and take a step back in time.
