In Response To: Re: Fort Pickering ()

Fort Pickering was located approximately where the Memphis Metal Museum is and there is an old building or two within the iron gates that date to that period. Chisga's mound is located in the adjacent park along with another Chickasaw mound. The mound closest to the river was once used as a storage depot for munitions. In later years it collapsed in on itself. The park itself has given up numerous relics over the years. There is a depiction of Fort Pickering (after it moved to its higher bluff location) in the Civil War Map Atlas.
