From the Great Smoky Mountains World / Places

Dan Lawson Place

Study the changing materials of a historic Cades Cove house and its outbuildings. It lies partway around the one-way loop road, making a short interpretive stop.

Dan Lawson Place

Why go

Dan Lawson Place shows how a Cades Cove home changed over time. The house began with a log core in 1856, gained framed additions, and was later covered in siding. Comparing those layers gives a tangible view of adaptation in the valley, making this a worthwhile short stop about seven miles into the one-way loop.

What to look for

  • The 1856 house combines an original log core with later framed and sided additions.

Useful to know

  • Pause about seven miles into the one-way Cades Cove Loop to compare the log core and later framed additions.
