It was the second state park in the USA that was open to African Americans.〔(TN.gov Department of Environment & Conservation ). Accessed August 2009〕
CCC camp number 1464-SP-10, which was composed of African Americans, initiated construction of the park facilities in 1938. During excavation for a proposed swimming pool in 1940, CCC workers unearthed evidence of a prehistoric village. The site has since been developed as Chucalissa Indian Village and includes a village, preserved archeological excavations and the C.H. Nash Museum at Chucalissa.〔Tennessee Department of Environment & Conservation pamphlet: authorization no. 327152 (July 2009)〕
