I have been to Fort Loudoun before. Unfortunately that day it was raining and the whole hill was a mud slick. This time it was a beautiful day and I got to explore the fort better. Created as a treaty deal with the Cherokee Indians, the fort was home to British troops and Cherokee until a falling out led to the British soldiers being killed after surrendering the fort to the Cherokee during a siege. A peripheral player in the French and Indian War, the fort has been rebuilt and has a nice museum in the visitor center.
