About The Interpretive Center

The Daniel Boone Wilderness Trail Interpretive Center is a satellite location of Natural Tunnel State Park. The goal of our organization is to assist park staff in educating visitors on the importance of the Wilderness Road and the role it played in the early steps of the westward expansion of the United States. The interpretive center features a museum which focuses largely on the story of the trail from Sycamore Shoals to Cumberland Gap, and the brave men, women and children who traveled it and/or called it home. Guided tours of the museum can be arranged during regular hours or as part of a conference room rental. The facility also contains a resource library which will soon be open to the public. Materials in the library will include books, documents, pictures and other items pertaining to the Wilderness Road from frontier America to the end of the Civil War. Various historical programs are available at the interpretive center as well as other locations up and down the Wilderness Road. For additional information and a schedule of events please call us at 276-431-0104 or send us an email.

In addition to the many educational opportunities available at the facility there is also a large conference room available for rental. The space is perfect for meetings and lectures and is available year round. For more information please call us at 276-431-0104 or send us an email.
