Mark Twain Park - Jamestown, TN - Municipal Parks and Plazas on Waymarking.com

"This historical landmark of Fentress County was named for Samuel Langhorne Clemens, known worldwide as Mark Twain. It was the source of water for early settlers of Jamestown, including Clemens' parents who settled on adjoining property to the north, where they lived from 1827-1832. In the spring of 1835 they left for Missouri, where Clemens was born that November."

"Our quaint and charming pocket park offers a shaded and beautifully landscaped area to sit and read a book, or just relax under the gazebo. Before the founding of Jamestown, the area was also known as "Sand Springs" for the many bubbling springs located within the city. The last remaining spring is located right here within the Mark Twain City Park. For rental information of facilities contact the City Hall at 931-879-8815, or Parks Department Superintendent, Ronnie Dishmon at 931-879-8815."
