This State Archaeological Park is dedicated to the preservation, protection, study and interpretation to the public of this significant survival of ancient culture.  The park offers educational and entertaining programs which increase understanding of the Old Stone Fort, archaeology, and Native American cultures.  The Visitor Center and exhibit hall complex includes exhibits relating to the history, archaeology, and legends surrounding the Old Stone Fort and its builders.

Programs can be scheduled for school and other groups that provide insight into the significance of Old Stone Fort, the culture or lifestyles of Woodland Indians, and the goals and techniques of archaeology.  They are scheduled programs for weekend days during the summer months.

Several foot trails explore the Old Stone Fort enclosure and Duck River area.  The trail around the interior of the ancient enclosure is 1 ¼ miles in length.  The forks of the Duck River drop over numerous waterfalls to each side of the Old Stone Fort.  There are 2 miles of developed trails beyond the main interpretive trail.

Directions: The Park is located off U.S. Highway 41 in Manchester, TN.  From I-24 turn southwest of the Highway 53, Exit 110 and follow the signs 1 ½ miles to the entrance.  Exit 111 also has signs that will take you to the park.  For specific directions, see http://www.mapquest.com
