To counter this threat, the Colony sent the Independent Company of South Carolina to construct and garrison what became Fort Loudon. This move helped to ally the Overhill Cherokee Nation in the fight against the French and guaranteed the trade would continue between the Cherokee and South Carolina.<\/p>\n<p>In the course of the fort&#8217;s four year existence, relations between South Carolina and the Cherokee Nation broke down. In August 1760, the Cherokee captured Fort Loudon and its garrison. After the surrender in 1760, the fort was never used again for any military purpose. It is thought the Cherokees destroyed the fort sometime shortly after the English marched away.<\/p>\n<p>Nature reclaimed the site and there was no public recognition of the Fort until 1917. In November of that year the Colonial Dames of America placed a commemorative marker at the Fort Loudon site. In 1933, the Tennessee General Assembly purchased the site of Fort Loudon and created the Fort Loudoun Association to manage it. The Fort Loudoun Association ran the site for nearly 45 years until it became a Tennessee State Park in 1977.<\/p>\n<p>Today, the reconstructed fort and the ruins of the 1794 Tellico Blockhouse overlook TVA\u2019s Tellico Reservoir and the Appalachian Mountains.[\/su_spoiler][\/su_accordion]<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"margin-top:15px;

The Organization was created by the Tennessee State Legislature in 1933 and operated Fort Loudon independently until 1978 when Fort Loudon became part of Tennessee\u2019s State Park system. The Fort Loudon Association meets bi-monthly, usually on Garrison weekends. Meetings start at 9:00 a.m. Saturday mornings.[su_accordion][su_spoiler title=&#8221;Read More&#8221;]\n[embedyt] http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=U3GQslMZhg0&#038;width=650&#038;height=400[\/embedyt]<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"margin-top: 20px; margin-bottom: 0px;\">Fort Loudon Association: Creating Living History<\/h3>\n<p>It is one of two volunteer groups, which bring life to Fort Loudon. The other is the Independent Company of South Carolina whose members regularly recreate everyday life when Fort Loudon was in use on the American frontier.<\/p>\n<p>Fund raising efforts by the Fort Loudon Association help support the Independent Company\u2019s living history program and provides funds for reconstruction efforts in the fort. Recent efforts by the association have built an 18th Century bake oven and have rebuilt several bastion gun platforms. The association also assists the park staff by providing volunteers to work in the Visitor Center and to help with special work projects.[\/su_spoiler][\/su_accordion]<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"margin-top:15px;
