    I had a wonderful time camping overnight and hiking your trails and walking your quiet roads earlier in the year. Keep up the good work!

About T.O. Fuller State Park

T.O. Fuller State Park was the first state park open for African Americans east of the Mississippi River. A Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) camp in the area initiated construction of the park facilities in 1938. It was designated Shelby County Negro State Park in 1938 and was later changed to T.O. Fuller State Park in 1942 in honor of Dr. Thomas O. Fuller, a prominent African-American educator, pastor, politician, civic leader, and author, who spent his life empowering and educating African Americans. The park offers a wide range of outdoor recreational assets - including an Interpretive Nature and Education Center, hiking trails, playgrounds, an Olympic-size pool and splash pad, ball fields, camping, basketball, and tennis courts.
