History of Tuckaleechee Cove

Tuckaleechee Cove is a unique and pristine community where the Little River descends from the Great Smoky Mountains National Park into a quiet mountainside community, a natural setting that has been home to humans for thousands of years. Recent archaeological digs have found evidence of Native American societies that date back 10,000 years. In the 1700's, settlers moved into the areas now known as Townsend and nearby Cades Cove. The era of the railroad and a thriving logging industry add to the area's rich heritage.

Today, visitors to the Townsend area immerse themselves in rich Appalachian culture. Museums, historic sites and special trails connect us with the past. Thankfully, in Townsend it has not been forgotten. The best place to begin a journey into the history of Tuckaleechee Cove is the Townsend Visitors Center. For more information, call 865-448-6134 or 1-800-525-6834.

Little River Railroad and Lumber Company Museum

In the early 1900's, a busy railroad operated in the Smoky Mountains, bringing tourists to the area and taking thousands of trees out. The Little River Railroad and Lumber Company Museum tells the story of the area's logging history with hundreds of photographs, restored equipment and interpretive exhibits. Railroad buffs enjoy seeing one-of-a-kind locomotives and logging machinery and visiting with volunteer staffers rich with the knowledge of the old railroad's operations. An expansion project includes a refurbished water tower, replica passenger platforms and a restored set-off house that shows how life was lived atop mountain ridges while logging operations were underway.

Steve Norris is a lifelong self-taught artist who has hiked and photographed every trail and historic site in the Great Smoky Mountains over his lifetime. In his youth he dreamed of someday becoming a forest ranger or forestry technician and taking up lifelong residence in an American national park and to live amongst its wonders everyday. But it was never to be. In later years he found a second love in painting the scenic wonders of the Smokies, with an emphasis on Cades Cove. He resides in Townsend, Tennessee – just a short walk from the national park boundary. His love of the mountains and its wildlife can be found in his attention to detail and in the accuracy of his paintings My art work has its biggest display at the Cades Cove Gallery at the Apple Valley Center in Townsend.
