Rutherford
Rutherford was the home of Davy Crockett prior to his departure to Texas
and his tragic death at the Alamo on March 6, 1836. Here you can visit
the replica of his cabin (built with logs from the original cabin) and
the grave of his mother, Rebecca Hawkins Crockett. Rutherford celebrates
their famous frontiersman with a festival in early October each year
with old-fashioned music, arts and crafts, costumes and a parade.
For more information on this event, please see the
ACTIVITIES & EVENTS section. For more
information on the Davy Crockett Cabin (hours of operation, history,
events) visit the website at
