Port Royal State Historic Park
Port Royal State Park / My TN State Park Fundraiser 2026
'The Rangers really make this park wonderful and interesting! Thank you for the historical programs and guided walks!'
Give back to the park that gave you your favorite memories.
Now's your chance to show your love for Port Royal State Historic Park. During the My TN State Parks Fundraiser in April, every donation is a vote for Port Royal State Historic Park as your favorite Tennessee State Park, and an investment in its future.
With each vote, you're helping fund meaningful improvements such as constructing hiking trails and bridges, conserving habitats for wildlife, upgrading playgrounds, installing interpretive signage, and enhancing care for our raptor friends.
When you give, you help make these projects possible, creating a better and more enjoyable experience for everyone who visits our state parks.
About Port Royal State Historic Park
Port Royal State Historic Park's history starts with the town of Port Royal, established in 1797, one year after Tennessee statehood. The creation of a tobacco inspection point and flatboat yard led to the town's role as a regional tobacco town. In 1838, more than 10,000 Cherokee slept in the state of Tennessee for the last time at Port Royal. Today, Port Royal is part of the National Trail of Tears Historic Trail. Visitors can learn more about Port Royal's history by attending a historical interpretive tour with a park ranger.
