Tennessee Civil War National Heritage Area
Tennessee is the only national heritage area to encompass an entire state. The TCWNHA tells the whole story of America's Greatest Challenge, 1860-1875, through Civil War and Reconstruction-era sites and resources across the state.
National heritage areas, designated by Congress, are defined by the National Park Service as "places...where natural, cultural,
historic, and recreational resources combine to form a cohesive, nationally distinctive landscape, which tell nationally important stories and represent the national experience through both physical features and the traditions that have evolved within them."
The TCWNHA, administered by the Center for Historic Preservation at Middle Tennessee State University, represents a partnership-based effort to preserve, enhance, interpret, and promote the legacy of the Civil War and its aftermath in Tennessee.
