Stories Bigger Than Texas: The Alamo Podcast
Episode 62: Hurricane Recovery - David Crockett Birthplace State Park

In late September 2024, Hurricane Helene bore up the United States eastern seaboard. As the deadly storm moved inland, devastating rain stalled over Tennessee, washing away much of the state park that marks the birthplace of David Crockett.

We reveal the extent of damage at David Crockett Birthplace State Park, the powerful parallel it draws to Crockett’s own life, and how you can help recover and preserve this foundational piece of Alamo history. Featuring Thomas Batchelor and Fred Bloom, interpretative rangers at David Crockett Birthplace State Park in Limestone, Tennessee.
