Hood's Retreat Historical Marker is part of the Historical Markers Program by the Tennessee Historical Commission. Established in the late 1940s, this program has erected nearly 2,000 markers across Tennessee, commemorating significant sites, individuals, and events in the state's history.
Through the program, the Commission places approximately 20 markers per year, with some funded by sponsors. The markers serve as an effective way to introduce travelers to Tennessee's rich historical heritage, and the Commission also attends to replacement and repair of missing or damaged markers as funds become available.
