"It
was my intention not to develop a cold, formal, lifeless "museum."
Rather, I have aimed for the "lived-in" look, striving
for, above all else, authenticity. It was my goal to make
the Bunch House, the Arnwine Cabin, and all the other dwellings
appear as though the family had just strolled down to the
spring to fetch the daily supply of water." John Rice

Cade's
Cove - A step back in time - This is a great spot to view
life the way it used to be. When driving through this beautiful
park, it is not unusual to see deer grazing, and maybe even
a bear or two!
