I love going to Rock Castle everytime! It's a great place to go for Peace, making decisions, etc. or just visiting with the family! Go to it especially if you are into history, but if you aren't it doesn't matter. Go there with an open mind!

The historic Daniel Smith days they have on the last week-end of Sept. is great. 2008 was the first re-enactment of the signing of the Holston Treaty 1791. It was fantastic. Hope to see it again Sept. 2009. I am already working on gettting up a crowd.

I was disappointed. Your information says you are open Sunday 1-4. A friend & I drove there to tour the Castle and your sign says closed on Sundays. You need to change the information on this site. Anyway, who closes during tourist season?

I tried to visit the site at 1:30 PM on a Wednesday. There were no cars in front of the ticket office/gift shop, the door was locked, and a sign said "next tour in half an hour". I waited about five minutes and didn't see any activity, so I left.

The grounds look nice, though.

This does not appear to be a popular site. Perhaps a weekend visit when there are more people would be better.
