Bledsoe's Station (AKA Bledsoe's Fort) was an 18th-century frontier fort located in what is now Castalian Springs, TN. The fort was built by long hunter and Sumner County pioneer Isaac Bledsoe in the early 1780s to protect Upper Cumberland settlers and migrants from hostile Native American attacks. While the fort is no longer standing, its location has been verified by archaeological excavations. The site is now part of Bledsoe's Fort Historical Park, a public park established in 1989 by Sumner County residents and Bledsoe's descendants. The Belote Cemetery (or "Pioneer Cemetery") is located along a section of the Holston Road a few hundred yards southeast of the fort site and contains the graves of various early settlers in the Bledsoe's Lick area. The cemetery's most prominent feature is a 15-foot obelisk erected by the Bledsoe family in 1908 as a monument to Isaac and Anthony Bledsoe.
