Historic Structures in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park
Great Smoky Mountains National Park is known for its scenic drives, waterfalls, and mountain views, but it is also home to one of the finest collections of preserved log structures in the eastern United States. From grist mills and churches to cabins and schoolhouses, these preserved sites tell the story of the families who once lived deep within the Smokies before the national park was established in the 1930s.
