Fort Southwest Point is an open-air reconstructed 1797 frontier fort on the Tennessee River offering timber palisades, blockhouses, period buildings and river/shoreline vistas.

Best at golden hour for warm side light and long shadows; weekdays and early mornings reduce visitors. Site is ground-level with nearby parking at 1225 S Kentucky St; check local hours or rV
