Join the celebration of historic exploration at the Blockhouse in Natural Tunnel State Park, where you can experience a reenactment of Daniel Boone’s notable journey “Into the Wilderness.” On April 26th, from 10:00AM to 4:00PM, attendees will gather to witness the preparations involved in Boone’s trailblazing from Kingsport, TN to Fort Boonesborough, KY. This event, hosted by Daniel Boone Wilderness Trail Association, Natural Tunnel State Park, and Scott County 250, invites everyone to engage with history.

The reenactment will showcase a variety of demonstrations that reflect the skills and activities necessary for survival during Boone’s time. Participants can look forward to learning about traditional crafts such as soap making, linen spinning, lead bullet production, garden preparation, and salt making. Additionally, visitors will have the unique opportunity to interact with costumed characters, including Daniel Boone himself, as well as Captain John and Rebecca Anderson, who are the current owners of the Blockhouse.
