Whitehead Place
Follow Forge Creek Road to a rare sawn-log house in Cades Cove. The road is seasonal and can close for snow, ice or mud.
Why go
Whitehead Place is reached by seasonal Forge Creek Road and includes a distinctive sawn-log house. A smaller earlier cabin behind it helps show how the home site changed over time. The construction method is rare among surviving park buildings, so this stop adds variety to the Cades Cove historic sites beyond churches and mills.
What to look for
The Henry Whitehead place is located 0.75 miles down Forge Creek Road.
Useful to know
Check Forge Creek Road conditions before driving to the site.
The house is reached from a short roadside walk.
