History Hike

Winter in the Western Theater Hike

The special program features a guided hike led by NPS staff on park grounds. The event launches our yearlong commemoration of the 160th Camp Nelson. The program emphasizes the political and military stakes leading up to Camp Nelson’s establishment by the US Army in April 1863, including military campaigns in the Western Theater, the liberation of East Tennessee, and Kentucky contested road to emancipation.

The special event begins with a short orientation at the visitor center. From there, NPS staff will guide participants on a 2-mile hike of the park’s grounds. The hike will be conducted on cleared dirt paths and will involve moderate inclines. Participants should wear comfortable hiking shoes and bring water. The special event is free and open to the public.
