Davy Crockett Birthplace State Park

We visited Davy Crockett Birthplace State Park Limestone, TN and had a really nice day.  Davy Crockett Birthplace State Park sits along the Nolichucky river and is a 105 acre park that is centered on the birthplace of David Crockett aka Davy Crockett.  Davy Crockett was a Tennessee frontiersman, soldier, politician and also fought at the Alamo in Texas. The State Park has a replica of Davy's cabin, at the time of his birth,  that has just been moved by the campground.  The park is in the middle of a small renovation to include a village  to show what life was like during Davy Crockett's time.  It also has a nice campground, pool, playground area, picnic areas, hiking trails, boat launch and rentals and a museum.  It was such a nice day that we decided to pick up some sub sandwiches and have a picnic lunch at the park.  There is one major renovation that will be taking place very soon; the name of the park.  The park, going forward, will be called David Crockett Birthplace State Park.  David Crockett never went by Davy.  The name Davy was due to Disney's Davy Crockett movies and song.  There will now be two state parks in Tennessee called David Crockett.  There is the David Crockett State Park located in Lawrenceburg, TN and the newly named David Crockett Birthplace State Park in Limestone, TN.  There will be more on David Crockett tomorrow so check back!
