PRODUCED &WRITTEN BY: Friends of Sycamore Shoals State Historic AREA

As the story unfolds, long hunters and settlers begin leaving the protection of the English colonies, crossing the Appalachian Mountains in violation of The British Proclamation of 1763.

Historically, along the Watauga old fields, families soon made their homes, formed a new government, bought and traded land from the Cherokee, and ultimately, during the American Revolution fought for the freedom we hold so dear today.

The series of events that unfolded at Sycamore Shoals were critical to state and national history in the 18th century. These dramatic chapters in America’s westward expansion set the tone for a number of events that helped propel the British Colonies towards independence and a democratic form of government.

These stories are proudly shared with our guests during each performance of “Liberty! The Saga of Sycamore Shoals.”
