David Crockett's Last Home 4B27

This pioneer family settled on a farm about 4 1/2 miles east. Following his last defeat for reelection to Congress, he went to Texas, where he died in the Alamo massacre. This cabin, restored partly from timbers of his original dwelling by publicspirited citizens, now serves as a memorial to him and as a frontier museum. His mother is also buried here.

US 45W, near Rutherford High School. Gibson County Tennessee
