Although Old Ft. Parker is not part of Ft. Parker State Park, it is my understanding that it was origionally part of the park, and first restored and reconstructed by the Civilian Conservation Corps when they were constructing the State Park during the mid 1930's. Since it is near the Park, it's an intersting place to visit while visiting the State Park. For information about the interesting history, activites, and visiting Old Ft.
