Three- dimensional exhibits and dioramas completely immerse the guest in the lifestyles and ways of those who first settled along the Watauga River valley. Walking into a re-creation of Fort Watauga guarantees some surprises, coupled with audio stories and sounds shared along the journey. All of the major historical events come together in Patriots Theater, where our film, “Sycamore Shoals: Story of the American Spirit,” honors the contributions, actions, and culture of the people who came before us. SABINE HILL Architectural historians consider Sabine Hill to be one of the finest examples of wood framed Federal architecture in the State of Tennessee. The home was built circa 1818 by Mary Patton Taylor, the widow of Brigadier General Nathaniel Taylor. During his life, Nathaniel Taylor rose to prominence in both civil and military affairs. The house was restored by the Tennessee Historical Commission and opened in November, 2017. Tours are given by reservation throughout the year. in Elizabethton.

  • Sycamore Shoals Celebration by Judge Ed Butler
    SYCAMORE SHOALS CELEBRATION Johnson City, TN Sep. 16 – 18, 2009 From Sycamore Shoals, they rode their horses over the mountains until they met up with Lt. Col. Frederick Hambright, leader of the Lincoln Co., N.C. militia at Cowpens, SC, along with other groups from Virginia, Georgia, Virginia and South Carolina. From the 1,100 some men, the leaders selected just over 900 men with the best horses for the Oct. 7, 1780 attack of Ferguson, who was dug in atop Kings Mountain. They rode for 36 straight hours, then entered the battle immediately upon their arrival at Kings Mountain. Their victory was the turning point in the American Revolutionary War. We were here to commemorate these brave Over The Mountain Men. Ronnie Lail was Chairman. In addition to the 20 some color guardsmen, most of whom were dressed as backwoodsmen, there was a 10 man fife and drum corps. There were about 60 participants in the grand stands. It was a bright sunny day. After the formalities were over, I was introduced. Before I gave my remarks, I presented a Meritorious Service Medal to to John Echerd. My remarks were as follows: It is a pleasure to return to my original home state. Just a few miles from here on the banks of the Watauga River is the town of Butler. Although my direct Butler ancestors migrated directly from Montgomery Co., NC, my collateral ancestors settled this nearby community. To talk about the events we commemorate today, we must examine what had been going on. The patriots suffered a huge defeat at Charleston, only to be followed by another English victory at Camden.

  • Cherokee County
    Cherokee County - The Roads to Kings Mountain Two hundred forty years ago, during the first week of October, 1780, what is now Cherokee County was the site of im- portant events in the American Revolutionary War. During that week, both a British Loyalist Army and an American Patriot Army traveled across the county on their way to do battle at Kings Mountain. The American victory at the Bat- tle of Kings Mountain on October 7 is thought by many historians to be the turning point in the War. The British Army, under Major Patrick Ferguson, had been in North Carolina in the vicinity of Gilbert Town. He had sent a warning to the mountaineers living across the Blue Ridge. He had threatened that if they did not cease opposing the British forces, he would cross the mountains and destroy them with fire and sword. This threat had been like pour- ing gasoline on a fire. Instead of being intimidated, the mountaineers decided to gather an army and destroy Ferguson. Ferguson soon had gotten word that a sizable Patriot Army was coming after him. He decided to retreat south and join British General Cornwallis who was in Charlotte. He did not make it to Charlotte. He marched across Cherokee Coun- ty, camping several times. He crossed the Broad River at Tate’s Plantation and Ferry on October 5. After traveling about 15 miles from the Broad River, he stopped the Army and camped on top of Kings Mountain in what is today, York County. The “Overmountain Men” had been joined by militia from Virginia, South Carolina and Georgia.

  • An Educator's Guide to the Story of North Carolina
    Story of North Carolina – Educator’s Guide An Educator’s Guide to The Story of North Carolina An exhibition content guide for teachers covering the major themes and subject areas of the museum’s exhibition The Story of North Carolina. Use this guide to help create lesson plans, plan a field trip, and generate pre- and post-visit activities. This guide contains recommended lessons by the UNC Civic Education Consortium (available at http://database.civics.unc.edu/), inquiries aligned to the C3 Framework for Social Studies, and links to related primary sources available in the Library of Congress. Updated Fall 2016 1 Story of North Carolina – Educator’s Guide The earth was formed about 4,500 million years (4.5 billion years) ago. The landmass under North Carolina began to form about 1,700 million years ago, and has been in constant change ever since. Continents broke apart, merged, then drifted apart again. After North Carolina found its present place on the eastern coast of North America, the global climate warmed and cooled many times. The first single-celled life-forms appeared as early as 3,800 million years ago. As life-forms grew more complex, they diversified. Plants and animals became distinct. Gradually life crept out from the oceans and took over the land. The ancestors of humans began to walk upright only a few million years ago, and our species, Homo sapiens, emerged only about 120,000 years ago. The first humans arrived in North Carolina approximately 14,000 years ago—and continued the process of environmental change through hunting, agriculture, and eventually development.

During a series of to the Carolina frontier. cataclysmic upheavals, giant folds (like an accordion) Early settlers used rose and the sea drained. The draining sea left a wide these routes to reach fertile basin, and the folds became known as the Great western North Carolina. Smoky and Cumberland Mountains. As a lush forest sprang from the basin, soil and groups of Indians settled here. In the 1700s four or five Indian tribes inhabited this area and by then this region belonged to the British Colony of North Carolina. New immigrants to America looking for new lands to settle, began forming groups to penetrate these vast open lands, but the Blue Ridge Mountains were barriers to travel.

  • Management Plan for the Wilbur Tailwater Trout Fishery 2015-2020
    Management Plan for the Wilbur Tailwater Trout Fishery 2015-2020 Prepared by: Jim W. Habera Rick D. Bivens Bart D. Carter Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency March 2015 Wilbur Tailwater Trout Fishery Management Plan (2015-2020) I. Management Goal and Strategies The Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency’s (TWRA’s) management goal for the Wilbur tailwater (Watauga River) is to maintain a quality trout fishery throughout the tailwater capable of providing a variety of opportunities to the anglers who enjoy this resource. TWRA’s primary strategies for attaining the management goal for the Wilbur tailwater will be to emphasize the excellent wild brown trout Salmo trutta fishery while continuing to provide put- and-grow and put-and-take fisheries for rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss. The existing Quality Zone (QZ) offers a management opportunity for providing anglers with higher catch rates for larger trout through special regulations. Efforts will continue during 2015-2020 to ensure that the QZ is contributing to the accomplishment of the Wilbur tailwater management goal. II. Background The Watauga River flows northwest from the mountains of northwestern North Carolina into Carter County, Tennessee and is impounded near Hampton, forming The Tennessee Valley Authority’s (TVA) Watauga Reservoir (6,432 acres). Most of the reservoir’s 468 mi.2 watershed is forested and much of the Tennessee portion lies within the Cherokee National Forest. Wilbur Dam is located about 3 mi. downstream of Watauga Dam and impounds a small reservoir (~72 acres). Wilbur Dam’s four turbines are capable of releasing a total flow of 2,680 ft3/s (cfs) and one turbine has a much higher capacity 3 (1,766 cfs) than the other three, offering more discharge options than at other Tennessee hydroelectric facilities (Bettoli 1999).
