Great War Expo II at SGT Alvin C. York State Park in Tennessee

Battles of the First World War Podcast

Show Notes

Tennessee State Park Rangers Nate Dodson and Tanner Wells come on the podcast to discuss the upcoming Great War Expo II at York State Park in Pall Mall, TN.

On April 5th, 2025, the second annual Great War Expo will be held at Sgt. Alvin C. York State Historic Park in Pall Mall, TN. This is an educational event highlighting all things WW1 at the homesite of one of its more well known soldiers. Experience informative lectures, participate in living history demonstrations, meet authors and vendors, and interact with organizations from across the nation that preserve and share WW1 history.

I was there last year, and it was a great time. You're just steps away from Alvin York's house, sharing WW1 history with other enthusiasts. What could be better?

So if you are nearby or can get up to Pall Mall, TN, you are in for a great experience.
