Mission
As a nonprofit steward of Bledsoe's Fort Historical Park, the association helps protect, interpret, and share places central to the county's earliest settlement history.
Organization Profile
The association is the nonprofit custodian of Bledsoe's Fort Historical Park in Cooperation with Sumner County. Its stewardship supports preservation of the park landscape and related historic resources tied to the Upper Cumberland frontier.
The organization is also connected to tours and interpretation at Castalian Springs Mounds in partnership with the Tennessee Division of Archaeology, making it especially important to any serious telling of early Sumner County history.
For SumnerTN250, Bledsoe's Lick Historical Association represents a vital local voice: one rooted not only in documents and memory, but in the care of the very ground where some of the county's earliest history unfolded.
