Appalachia Trip Post #4: Sycamore Shoals State Historic Park

On our second day on our (school) trip to Appalachia, we stopped at Sycamore Shoals State Historic Park in Elizabethton, TN.  We had no idea there was a Revolutionary War re-enactment taking place and arrived just as it was starting.  Excellent timing!  It was a re-enactment of a battle between the colonists and Native Americans (teamed with the British).  Our reason for stopping was to view the fort and check out the museum in the visitor's center, but the re-enactment was a wonderful surprise.

All in all a great visit with a pleasant surprise.  This park is a definite must-see if you are in the area and looking for something to do.
