Bledsoe's Station, or Bledsoe's Fort, preserves the site of an early 1780s frontier fort built by Isaac Bledsoe in what is now Castalian Springs, Tennessee, near a mineral spring and salt lick long used by animals, hunters, and travelers. The place lay within an ancient Native hunting landscape and later became an important stop on Avery's Trace during early settlement. It was shaped by the violent conflict that accompanied the first major wave of Euro-American settlement after the American Revolution; Anthony Bledsoe was mortally wounded there in 1788, and Isaac Bledsoe was killed nearby in 1793. Archaeology later confirmed the fort's remains, making the site a rare meeting point of frontier defense, road history, and settlement conflict in the Upper Cumberland.
