Cades Cove is a community frozen in time. Some of the log cabins and other buildings in Cades Cove were preserved and restored. These log and timber buildings now make Cades Cove a major draw in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. {30 vintage photographs}

Believe it or not I used to know, but I can't remember.

Reckon I'm getting citified in my old age.

One of my favorite places to visit. Don't forget Kermit Caughron (last resident of The Cove), met him in the spring of 1997, think he died in 1999.

I can just feel the warm sun, sweet smell of the grass, sounds of the birds singing among that peaceful and gorgeous scenery. What a beautiful way to live!

Thanks. Beautiful country we’re so lucky to live in! We have identical scenes in Upstate, NY.

There’s an old church in the Cove...beautiful...if ever there, take a look at the tombstones in the church’s graveyard...where a number of men who fought in the American Revolution and their families are buried; also a lot of children who died young.

Here's another one taken At Frozen Head State Park:

Thanks for the link to that....as we passed thru, we actually stopped and walked that area; went upstairs to the restaurant and the place was absolutely jammed with a huge wait list.

We ended up having Crystal Burgers in Sevierville.
