About Cordell Hull Birthplace State Park

A replica log cabin marks the site where Cordell Hull was born in 1871. The park preserves his early homestead and honors his career as U.S. Secretary of State under Franklin Roosevelt, a role in which he helped bring the United Nations into being during the 1940s. Visitors can see the grounds tied to his origins before his rise to national office.

Hours, fees, camping, reservations and closures are set by the park and change often. Check the official park site before you go.
