We visited and had lunch at the David Crockett State Park located along the bank of the Shoal Creek. David Crockett-pioneer, soldier, politician, and industrialist - was born near the little town of Limestone in northeast Tennessee in 1786. In 1817 he moved to Lawrence County and served as a justice of the peace, a colonel of the militia, and as a state representive. Dedicated in May, 1959, in honor of one of Tennessee's most famous native sons, David Crockett State Park is located on U.S. Highway 64, one half mile west of the city of Lawrenceberg.
