Phase I Archaeological Survey on 100 Acres of the Tennessee Army National Guard Tullahoma Volunteer Training Site in Coffee County, Tennessee: Revised Final Report

Author(s): Aaron Deter-Wolf; Ted Karpynec

Year: 2006

Summary

Phase I archaeological survey on approximately 100 acres of the Tennessee Army National Guard (TNARNG) Tullahoma Volunteer Training Site (VTS-Tullahoma). This project included background research as well as a comprehensive pedestrian survey and systematic shovel testing program of 100 acres included within the old Camp Forrest. A variety of features were recorded including road beds, sewer lines, and 24 structure foundations. Nineteen of these foundations are within the segregated barracks area associated with the African‐ American troops stationed at Camp Forrest. This 8.3 acre tract was recommended as potentially eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places with further recommendations of Phase II investigation. The Tennessee State Historic Preservation Office concurred with these findings. Also as a result of this project, Camp Forrest was given a single site number (40CF310).
