The support group Friends of Cordell Hull has received a grant of $3,900 from the Tennessee Arts Commission that will go toward the Cordell Hull Birthplace State Park’s arts programs. This marks the fifth year the group has received the grant.
The Cordell Hull Birthplace and Museum is a 55-acre historic park located on the Highland Rim, near Byrdstown, north of Cookeville and close to the Kentucky border. The site includes a representation of Hull’s log cabin birthplace and period gardens; the Cordell Hull Museum which displays a variety of photographs and artifacts; and an activities center.
