This state park honors its namesake, Alvin Cullum York, one of the most decorated U.S. Army soldiers of World War I. Located in Pall Mall, Tennessee, the state established Sgt. Alvin C. York State Historic Park in 1967 after York’s wife, Gracie, donated their farm. The park also preserves York’s two-story house, general store, and post office.
David Crockett Birthplace State Park is rising again.
After catastrophic flooding from Hurricane Helene in September 2024, this historic Tennessee landmark now stands at a defining moment. The park, located near Limestone in Greene County, marks the 1786 birthplace of David Crockett — frontiersman, congressman, and Alamo defender.
Today, the Tennessee State Park Conservancy is playing a key role in the bold restoration effort to rebuild the park stronger, safer, and more resilient than before.
This is more than recovery. It is a rebirth.
