Farm Museum

The Mountain Farm Museum is a collection of farm buildings assembled from locations throughout the Great Smoky Mountains Park. Visitors can explore a log farmhouse, barn, apple house, springhouse, and a working blacksmith shop to get a sense of how families may have lived one hundred years ago. Most of the structures were built in the late 19th century and were moved here in the 1950s. The Davis House offers a rare chance to view a log house built from chestnut wood before the chestnut blight decimated the American Chestnut in our forests during the 1930s and early 1940s. The museum is adjacent to the Oconaluftee Visitor Center.

Blue Mountain Lake Trees

The Adirondacks was spectacularly beautiful in October in 2007. I’d like to go back there some day.

The weather was lovely and the lake was blue. You can see the wind picked up in the last one.

Blue Mountain Lake in 2007

I love the Adirondacks in New York State so when my son, Amedeo, and his wife Heike came to visit in 2007 I booked us a cabin at Blue Mountain Lake.
