JAMES WHITE FORT ASSOCIATION

This historic site, consisting of a main house, an adjoining kitchen and several cabins that once served as rooms or workshops, was the first home in Knoxville. A visit to the mini hamlet is a chance to immerse yourself in the days of the pioneers and life when Knoxville was reduced to this fort built near the river. If you have the opportunity to talk to the fort manager, you will learn more about the ghost stories that would haunt the site and how the various workshops work.
