🏛️ Guided History Tour Explores Cumberland Homesteads and State Park Heritage

Cumberland Mountain State Park in Crossville is offering a rare opportunity to step back in time and explore the stories that shaped the Cumberland Plateau region. The guided heritage tour takes visitors through three historic sites that tell the story of resilience, vision, and community during pivotal moments in East Tennessee history.

📍 What to Expect on the Tour

The journey includes stops at three significant destinations: the Homestead Tower, Homestead House Museum, and the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) Museum. 🏘️ At each location, guided interpreters will share the stories of the people and events that shaped this unique corner of the Cumberland Plateau-from the vision behind the Cumberland Homesteads program to the lasting legacy of the CCC’s work in the region.

Participants will depart and return from the restaurant parking lot at Cumberland Mountain State Park, traveling by van to each historic site. The tour provides a comprehensive look at local heritage in a single outing, making it accessible for those interested in regional history but unable to visit multiple sites independently.
