FORT DEFIANCE CIVIL WAR PARK & INTERPRETIVE CENTER
In November 1861, Confederate troops began to build a defensive fort that would control the river approach to Clarksville. They mounted three guns in the fort. On February 19, 1862, Federal gunboats came up the river from Fort Donelson and reported the fort displayed a white flag and was deserted. Today, visitors are encouraged to walk the trails and enjoy the history that the location represents. Displays, cannons, and the occasional reenactors are just some of the things you can enjoy on your visit to Fort Defiance.
