Location
Fort Adair was located in the Appalachian Ridge-and-Valley region of East Tennessee, which is characterized by long, narrow ridges in a northeast-southwest direction. The exact location of the supply depot is unknown, but research indicates that it could have been located in the vicinity of the modern Lynnhurst Cemetery, near the confluence of Adair Creek and First Creek. Adair and his wife are buried at the top of a hill in the northeast section of the cemetery.
The historical marker erected by the Tennessee Historical Commission and the monument placed at the location by the Daughters of the American Revolution are located at U.S. Route 441 at the intersection of Broadway and Sanders Drive in Knox County at coordinates 36°01′34″N 83°55′38″W / 36.0260°N 83.9271°W / 36.0260; -83.9271Coordinates: 36°01′34″N 83°55′38″W / 36.0260°N 83.9271°W / 36.0260; -83.9271.
