In Pall Mall, Tennessee, this preserved Wolf River valley landscape centers on the life of Alvin C. York, the World War I soldier who rose from local farmer to national fame after helping lead a counterattack in France on October 8, 1918, capturing 132 German soldiers and earning the Medal of Honor. The park preserves York’s farm, house, general store, post office, gristmill, church, cemetery, and Bible institute, placing his story within the wider history of the Wolf River community. It also reflects his reluctance to profit from fame and his family’s role in preserving the property for the state after his death.
