Fort Pillow Visitor Center / Museum

Very interesting historical place. I enjoyed my nearly 8 mile hike after visiting the welcome center. As of November 2025, be aware there is a no-through area due to construction on the trail if you go up the ramp near welcome center and turn left onto the loop.

Great park with a lot of history. 3 trails to choose from.

My favorite park and place to be whenever I can. Awesome rangers and staff, excellent historical interpretations and events. These folks are always helping the community and many other further away. Well maintained beginner and experienced hiking trails, with very well kept grounds and amazing vistas right on the Mississippi. God bless those that tend this special place.

Went to Fort Pillow for Memorial day weekend, ended up observing an authentic cannon firing and musket demonstration, then went on a guided 2.5 mile hike to the fort and back. Jordan, the trail interpreter did a great job of mixing nature and history to provide a very well rounded experience. Fun day trip, not to far from Memphis.

NAVIGATION: As of 12/30/2023, Google Maps show Park Road (TN 207) connecting to Crutcher Lake Road. You can NOT enter the park from this direction. Take TN 87 to Old Fulton Road. Apple Maps, Waze, and MapQuest will all navigate to the correct entrance. Someone in our party was directed to a locked gate by Google Maps.
