The American Eagle Foundation is headquartered in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee.
Our off-site location is located on a 12-acre plot of land nestled in the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains in Pigeon Forge. This multi-million dollar facility:
- houses AEF’s non-releasable birds trained for educational purposes
- provides outdoor sunlight and fresh air for these educational raptors
- allows AEF staff to rehabilitate injured wild raptors
- allows rehabilitated Eagles to regain and strengthen their flight capabilities
- provides large private enclosures for Bald and Golden Eagle breeding pairs
- facilitates the incubation of Bald and Golden Eagle eggs—for later release into the wild
- allows the AEF to quarantine newly arrived sick, injured, or transferred raptors
- houses all of the AEF’s administrative activities
When tours are once again available, the following information will be helpful:
If you’d like to schedule a private tour, please make your request no less than 7 days in advance. As a courtesy, we will attempt to work with special last minute requests, but we cannot guarantee that we will be able to schedule you in.
