Blue Springs Encampments and Fortifications is the site of a Civil War military encampment in Bradley County, Tennessee. Union Army forces commanded by General William Tecumseh Sherman camped at this location between October 1863 and April 1865.[2] Entrenchments built on the crests of ridges overlooking the camps are still visible on the site. Stone reinforcements are present in some sections of the entrenchments.[3]
The property, which is now forest and farmland, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.[4] A Civil War Trails Program marker was placed near the site in 2016.[5]
In Bradley County, Union troops led by Sherman also camped near Tasso on multiple occasions in 1863.[6]
