Booker T. Washington opened in 1950 as one of Tennessee's first state parks for African Americans, built on land left from the Chickamauga Dam project and named for the Tuskegee educator. Its 400 acres in Chattanooga still hold picnic shelters and trails the CCC built. Walk the lakeshore early, cast off the fishing pier, and stay for sunset over Chickamauga Lake.

The design: a great blue heron atop the roofed fishing pier on Chickamauga Lake, white dogwood in bloom in the foreground, drawn in a flat vintage park-poster style inside a Tri-Star red frame, with BOOKER T. WASHINGTON up top, TENNESSEE PRIDE® below and the Tri-Star on the left sleeve.

Printed on the Bella+Canvas 3001: soft, lightweight, with just the right amount of stretch.

Every park design is an illustration in a vintage poster style. We simplify each scene to make a good poster, so it won't match the park detail for detail. Colors can also look a little different in person than on your screen.

About the place

Booker T. Washington State Park

Booker T. Washington State Park was built under segregation, when Black Tennesseans could use only two state parks, this one on Chickamauga Lake and T.O. Fuller in Memphis. It is named for the founder of the school at Tuskegee, and the state dedicated it in 1950, after a Black company of the Civilian Conservation Corps began work here in 1939. Rangers point visitors to the fishing pier at sundown, where a great blue heron often stands on the roof.
