John Cable bought property in Cades Cove in the late 1860's and built this water-powered grist mill along with a sawmill around 1870. He and after he died, his son, James V. Cable, operated it until sometime well into the twentieth century. The mill still sits on the original site and is now operated as a historical exhibit.

Thanks, it took a LOT of standing around to get it without people. It is getting to be SOOOOO crowded.
