How to get to Cordell Hull Birthplace State Park
The park sits just outside Byrdstown on TN Highway 325, about a 2 hour drive northeast of Nashville via I-40 and TN-56, and roughly 2.5 hours west of Knoxville. Access is on two-lane rural highways that wind through the Cumberland foothills, so drivers of longer rigs should expect curves, rolling grades, and limited shoulders, particularly on approaches from Livingston and Jamestown. The closest major airport for fly-and-rent travelers is Nashville International Airport (BNA), with Knoxville's McGhee Tyson (TYS) a secondary option.
