A flat, easy walk through the largest cluster of original farm buildings left in Cades Cove — a working 1870s gristmill, the Gregg-Cable house, barns, a smokehouse and a blacksmith shop. Twelve stops cover the buildings and the people who worked them, a few minutes' walk from the Cades Cove Visitor Center.
