Fort Loudoun was built in 1756 by the colony of Pennsylvania, served as a supply depot during the French and Indian War, was the site of the Cherokee Indian council of 1758, and it was the site of a pre-Rev War uprising, the Black Boys Rebellion of 1765. The Fort Loudon Historical Society’s (FLHS) mission is to accurately interpret Fort Loudoun to a wide spectrum of visitor and convey a vivid image of the life and times of the soldiers who built the fort, their Native American and French counterparts, and the settlers of the region.
