Historic structures in the Cataloochee Valley, Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

Steve Woody House in the Cataloochee Valley Great Smoky Mountains National ParkThe Great Smoky Mountains National Park enjoys a rich history of prior human habitation within the contemporary park boundaries.

Unlike the first national parks that were established in the West on lands already owned by the United States Government, the Great Smoky Mountains National Park was assembled with the purchase and condemnation of lands owned by private residents and a collection of lumber and mining companies.

Although most of the structures inside the park boundaries were razed at the time the park was created, a select few were allowed to remain as living museums of the historic human heritage of those that lived and worked here prior to the national park establishment.

The photos depicted here are of historic structures currently maintained by the National Park Service in the Cataloochee Valley. At one time, over 1,200 people called this place home.

And they are a testament to those hard working property owners that gave up their land, voluntarily or otherwise, to forever preserve the magnificent beauty of the Great Smoky Mountains!

I drove through Boyd Mountain Log Cabins and Tree Farm early Tuesday evening and then took a drive (with my Flip camera) down Hemphill (Boyd’s is on Hemphill). Winding country roads, creeks, beautiful pastures, cattle ranches, Christmas tree farms, and mountains everywhere ...

General Directions to Hemphill Road:
Exit 20 off of I-40 which is Hwy 276. Go South on Highway 276 for 3 1/2 miles to Hemphill Road. Turn right on Hemphill Road. First Road on left is Boyd Farm Road. Keep going straight if you aren’t going to Boyd’s.

If you are driving from Waynesville or Maggie Valley, follow Hwy 276 North to Hemphill Road. Turn left on Hemphill Road. Boyd Farm is on the first road on the left (or keep going straight if you aren’t going to Boyd’s).
