  The Tennessee Society of the
Colonial Dames placed this
marker at the entrance to the
fort in 1917.
This is the fort's gunpowder storage
building. While it does not currently
store powder, the fort's original
inhabitants would have used a
stone building such as this to safely
store their gunpowder.
