Fort Watauga at Sycamore Shoals
Fort Watauga at Sycamore Shoals, Elizabethton, TN
The early frontier forts and stations were a combination of log cabins, stockades, and palisades. Portholes were cut in order to see through and fire muskets at the invading enemy. Supplies, weapons, and ammunition were stocked inside the fort in order for the occupants to endure a seige.
