Compact signers

In 1780, 256 of the area’s earliest settlers signed the Cumberland Compact. We are their descendants. Just as our forefathers did more than two centuries ago, we have created a New Compact – the Cumberland River Compact. Our Cumberland River Compact signers have pledged to protect the future of the Cumberland River Basin by supporting our work.

thank you to our signers
