ELIZABETHTON — The last days of Liberty! are upon us for this year. The final performances of the 43rd season of Liberty! The Saga of Sycamore Shoals, Tennessee’s official outdoor
ELIZABETHTON â It is just a couple of weeks until this yearâs performances of âLiberty! The Saga of Sycamore Shoals,â Tennesseeâs official outdoor drama, makes its 2021 debut at Sycamore Shoals State Historic Park.
This marks the 42nd year of the performances but this year will be different because the performances will be in June rather than July. The first show is scheduled for Friday, June 4.
Other than the calendar, the performances will be similar to past years, with the outdoor play taking place at the Fort Watauga amphitheater and with a large cast portraying frontiersmen and frontierswomen, Cherokees and Overmountain Men. The cast will portray several events of national significance that took place in the late 18th century on the banks of the Watauga River, on the very ground where the audience will watch the events being retold.
