Cable Mill Historic Area
See a water-powered gristmill and neighboring farm buildings midway around Cades Cove Loop Road. The original-site mill gives this historic cluster a strong focal point.
Why go
Cable Mill is the anchor of a compact historic cluster midway around Cades Cove Loop Road. The gristmill still stands on its original site, while other farm buildings were brought here to show different parts of valley life. Pause to distinguish the working landscape from a single preserved house; the one-way road makes this a natural break in the loop drive.
What to look for
The water-powered gristmill stands on its original site among historic Appalachian farm buildings.
