Join us at Sycamore Shoals State Historic Park as we celebrate America 250 by €œCaring for Our Shared America.€ As a way to recognize NPLD and participate in the TN Serves initiative, help the staff of Sycamore Shoals State Historic Park with cleaning up and maintaining Fort Watauga, our park's primary interpretive feature. Volunteers will roll up their sleeves, get their hands dirty, and work together to clean out the fort cabins, stabilize the palisade wall, and address other important needs. Bring your family, friends, co-workers, teammates, neighbors, or anyone who enjoys our park and appreciates our unique history. Instructions will be provided to all volunteers that participate, and park staff will be available throughout the morning as well to provide support. Basic supplies will be available for volunteers to use.Volunteers wishing to participate in this volunteer day on Tuesday, September 22 should plan on arriving at Fort Watauga starting at 9:00 am. The volunteer day will wrap up no later than 12:00 pm, but volunteers are not required to stay the entire morning. It is recommended that you bring bottled water with you to stay hydrated, sunscreen, take breaks as needed, bring gloves and wear appropriate clothing for working outside.
